Hi, I had Dr. Ahmad! He is fantastic! I had the I-lap 14 months ago and have had some issues. I could sure use some friends to discuss this all with!

I'm from Moriches and have had the lapband since Oct 12, 2011. My doctors are Dr. Ahmad and Dr. Agarwala. They are great! I have lost over 100 lbs. I belong to Lipo (Long Island Post Ops) which is a wonderful local support group. If anyone is interested in joining LIPO, I'll get you the information.

Hey guys I miss Long Island! I lived in Mastic for 30 yrs, now living in Central Florida!

Don't you like Florida? You are lucky to be able to have great weather all year long. How long have you lived there?

Oh don't get me wrong I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE FL.

However it's sentimental, I got married in NY, all 3 of my children were raised from birth on Long Island, my husband is buried up there, he died at 40 yrs old and I was left to raise 3 small children alone.. I did all right with them none if them ever got in trouble, they graduated college in TX Except my youngest (almost 30 now) went to Alfred State SUNY but finished school here in FL. I would say he misses Long Island the most. He now lives in Atlanta but my other two kids love TX and wouldn't move back to Long Island for anything. My youngest however, would go back in a heartbeat if he could find a decent job there.

He loves winter (not me lol)

I got off the track, sorry, in answer to your question I have lived in FL since 2004.

Hi All I live in Patchogue and I host the NY-LI Bariatric Pal support groups! I wanted to have a meeting out here on Long Island this August, and then I was in a car accident and hurt my back and neck pretty badly. I'm on the mend and getting back into the swing of things again. There are so many of us out here, I'd love to put a group together!

Any idea's for a venue that you might like to meet at? I was thinking maybe the Patchogue Library, or even the one in Mastic.

Let me know your thoughts.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
