Thanks for posting Marie's contact information.  I just emailed her.  My surgery will be at Holy Cross but Shady Grove is so much close to my house.  Glad to have found the Maryland forum!

Topic: Anyone need Celebrate Chewable Calcium Strawberry Creme
Hello! I purchased these for my best friend who could not tolerate them. There are only a few of a 120 tablet bottle gone. Only thing is that I'd rather not have to ship the bottle, which is why I'm reaching out to my Maryland peeps. I'll post it on the RNY board as well.

Thanks!

 Amanda, I vaguely recall Holy Cross has support groups every other Wednesday but not sure of time/contact info.
Shady Grove Adventist (Rockville) has post-op support groups weekly on Thursdays at 7p and preop support groups monthly on Thursdays at 5:30p. Contact Marie Priest at  [email protected] or call 240-425-4589.

The Body Image Therapy Center has support groups for Bariatric Surgery patients less than a year out of surgery the 2nd Wednesday of every month at 7 pm and over a year out the 1st Wed of every month at 7pm in Columbia.  www.thebodyimagecenter.com  Groups are free and open to the public.  I haven't been there yet but I plan to go after surgery.

Its not in Mont Co but closer than Baltimore.

Topic: OFF TOPIC - But reaching out to my Baltimore friends
My son (2 years out in August and down 200 lbs) will be starting Towson University in the Fall (August 2011).  We are seeking off-campus housing for him (room to rent, roommates to share).  He has placed his request with the university off-campus housing department, but just thought we would check with our Baltimore WLS friends to see if you have any connections.

Hope all are well.  I will celebrate my 2 year anniversary on May 20 and have maintained my 137 lbs. loss.

THANKS!

Hi All,

Does anyone know of any Support Groups in Montgomery County. I am having my surgery in Baltimore and don't want to have to travel there to go to a meeting.  I tried checking on the hospital websites but didn't see anything.
