Have you had weight loss surgery? Are you pre-op? Are you thinking about having it? Let's get together to lend each other support, talk about tips that have helped you, and be there to support each other. Meetings will be in the Alexandria area. This is not a group for medical information or answers. This group will be to cheer each other on and support each other through our respective journeys.

Meet other area Black Professionals to network and discuss the many issues that we must negotiate, in and out of the work place.

I started this group to expand my circle of girl friends. I'm dedicated to really getting out there and doing things. I plan on having lots of things to do mainly on the weekends. We will do dinner and movies, museums, concerts, hiking, theater, and whatever else we as a group can think to do. I don't really want to put a age restriction on the group as I believe age doesn't dictate how much fun one can have or be. So any young minded women single or married who wants to get out and be social wi …
