Anyone else in NYC?



Recommended Posts

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?

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 :D

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

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
