Hello From Queens, New York

Just wanted to say hello to everyone on the site. I'm set to be banded October 7 from Dr Vohra (Long Island, NY) and looking forward to it.

I was going to remain mostly a lurker on the site. But with so many people here giving support, ideas, and advice, Id be rude not to be part of it. Not to mention all the info I found here already.

BTW, kudos to everyone who have had the surgery and showed success. It's funny how my past was echoed by many people here. They convinved me that I made the right choice to finally have this done.

    Hello DonTony, congratulations on your decision and welcome to the best support center in the world. This message board has been a God send to me. There is an answer for every question you can come up with and the people here are wonderful.

    I see you are from Howard Beach, I grew up in South Ozone Park but live in the beautiful hills of West Virginia now. Eat a slice of New Park and a prosciutto sandwich at Gino's for me before you get your band. :rolleyes2: MMMM no wonder I am fat, growing up there with all that deliciousness.

    Good luck!

    Ah New Park. I plan on having a few slices before Im banded. Ive never been to West Virginia, but Im sure it's nice.

    And as far as the site goes, thats what put me over the edge in deciding to get banded. So many positive stories and information. I have two months to go before Im banded; so Im gathering as much information now as possible.
