just wondered if there are any other people here who live in NYC? it'd be nice to meet some locals who have been through the process, or are about to (like me).

although, i'm of course open to hearing from everyone--no matter where you live.

Hi there! I live in NYC and I am considering the surgery. I have an appointment in 2 weeks with the surgeons at Cornell. Where are you having the surgery at?

Not from NYC but I am from NY. About an hour from the city. We should definitely keep in touch

I live on Long island. 4 years post op and down 220 pounds

I am about 25 mins from the city I'm in Orange County !!

Oh that's great! I'm having it done at Columbia Presbyterian. I meet the surgeon on Wednesday to set the surgery date.

How's your experience been with Cornell so far? Do you have a date in mind you're hoping to have the surgery done?

I'm in the process of doing the necessary steps to get insurance approval. I've been contemplating this surgery for 3 years now. I would really like to form a small support group (i plan on being a closet bander). I live in brooklyn hopefully we can help each other through this amazing but somewhat scary process.

A closet bander, i love it! that's what I'm going to be. I live in NYC, but i'm not in my 20's, i'm in my 30's. I'm about 25 in my head though

My surgery is at NYU and hopefully, it will be happening tomorrow.

@Dawn we are as young as we feel~ Good luck on your surgery i'll be sending you positive thinking! Hope you have a speedy recovery and don't worry soon your inner diva will shine

Aw, thanks MzNelly, very kind of you.
