Hi I am new to the OH site, just signed up last week. I really like it. I just have to figure out how to upload pictures and get some of those really cool pages and tickers. Would like to meet more friends I am scheduled for

Surgery on May 23 and time is getting close.

Does anyone know if there are any local support groups? I live on Kent Island. Please contact me, I really need to make friends!

THANKS

Hey there! Welcome to the board and congratulations on your big day coming up! I am in Westminster and we have a group that meets the 3rd Wednesday of the month at the library, but I think that may be a bit of a hike for you...

Hopefully someone will know of a support group more local to you and post about it! But I wanted to welcome you! Caryn

Hi Marie, I was going to tell you about Glen Burnie ! It is a fun meeting. The next one will be June 3 at North County HS. I live in Broadneck off the Baydale exit. I usually run home before going to GB and would be happy to meet you and drive you to the meeting if you would like. I am not 100% sure I will be going to June's meeting, tho I do plan on it. That might be a bit close to your surgery for you to be driving, etc. Not sure what the summer schedule will be since we meet at the school. Bu****ch the board for details. There's also a meeting in Crofton that meets once a month. That meeting is at the Crofton Library. Watch the board for posts about that meeting too. Best wishes on your upcoming surgery and as your WLS journey continues. Hugs, Mo

Comparison is the thief of joy!

If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!

THANKS SO MUCH! You made my day. Glen Burnie would be a good location and even Crofton is good. Yes you do live close to me. Thank you for the offer of attending with you I may take you up on that later this summer. Please keep in touch

I am getting ready to go away for 12 days but will be back in town by May 28th. When you are up to it I would be happy to come across the bridge and go walking thru the Outlets in Queenstown! I am not sure what the summer schedule for Glen Burnie will be, but I am sure we will talk about that in June. Last week our meeting was dinner at Los Portales up on Aviation Blvd near BWI. Take care. Hugs, Mo

Good Morning Theresa: Let me know if you find something closer than Baltimore. I know my dr (Dr. Kligman) is holding one tomorrow night @ Univeristy of MD Medical Center. 7:00pm. I got my jitters too, but they are over now and nothing will stop me from next week. Hang in there!

Maybe we can do a daisey chain thing and you can meet up with Theresa, and then come meet me and we will all go to GB together one night! I KNOW that is a very long trip for you (I made the trip to Salsibury 3 times a month for over a year ... arghhhhh), but for once in a while it would be fun. Hugs, Mo

Thanks! Meeting up and riding would be great. At least maybe over the summer we can do it once.
