I am originally a New Yorker, but I live in NJ and I am hoping to get banded very soon. I don't have a date yet but I am hoping to make it happen before Halloween (don't know why just picked that date...lol).

I am wondering if there are any Central Jersey support groups or people in Central Jersey who want to support/mentor?

I always find it strange that no matter how educated and professionally successful I am, my battles with food and eating have always been out of my control. And I'm a control freak so that bothers me. LOL. I am from the Caribbean so I am used to very rich, flavorful (and plentiful) food. So a liquid diet is a foreign concept to me, though I have been sucessful at it so far.

Anyway, I just joined this site yesterday and I would love to meet more people in the Central NJ area or anywhere in NJ for that matter.

Please feel free to send me PMs just to say hi!

Hope to hear from you.

I am from Northern N.J. I live close to the George Washington Bridge. My doctor has an office in Pompton Plains (not sure if that is central N.J.). Which is about 45 minutes from where i live. He also has an office in Paramus, that is where i go to. I am having my surgery 9/22/10. When are you having your surgery?
