    Question MD/DC Sleevers meet and greet idea...

    I want to have a MD/DC sleever meet and greet in the near future and would like to know if any of you in those areas would be interested in participating.
    My thoughts are that since we are all spread out in MD/DC that we could find a good place in the middle to meet one Sat or Sun for brunch-or something else not involving food, so that we can meet, network, share our experience with surgery-and for those who haven't had surgery, let them know a little of what it's been like and be an ongoing support group/system for each other.
    Would you be interested in something like this?
    I am thinking we meet once and depending on how it goes and how everyone feels about it, possibly doing it maybe every other month or every 6 months or whatever.
    A support group is so important to me in this journey and especially with people who live close by.
    Please let me know if you would be open to this idea and then in a week or 2 or 3 we can all discuss a date, place, city, etc...
    I hope you will be interested and want to participate. I think it would be great for all involved.
    Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
