New Yorkers are pretty proud people (everyone wants to be like us!) and this is the perfect place for us to get together and rep the Empire State. Please share your experiences (especially those specific to NY), your surgeon/hospital info, and anything else you think will be beneficial to the NY VSGers!

Hi guys,

I was sleeved July 2nd and joined VST on the 4th. My surgery was done by Dr. Mitchel Roslin at Lenox Hill Hospital. I was born, raised and still live in the Bronx NY. Right now I live in the Morris Park/ East 180th area.

It's very nice to meet you!! I'm hoping to be sleeved some time this winter. I also live in Morris Park!!! I'm on the Westchester Square side

All my fellow NYC folks- would anyone like to participate in a possible meetup down the road? There are a lot of us here and I think it would be nice it we could all get together!

I'm game!!

Yay awesome! Lets see if we can get a little group together! I know there are support groups/meetuos in other cities- it would be great if we could form our own.

Congratulations! I was sleeved last year, July 25th also by Dr. Mitchell Roslin at Lenox Hill Hospital. We must be kindred spirits because I also used to live in the same are you live in on Albert Einsteins Campus. I am going to see Dr. Roslin next week Friday.

You have found a great place here for support and if you ever want to meet in person as a support system for each other I am more than happy to do so.

I am definitely interested in meeting everyone. Just tell me when and where. I will out of town August 1st - August 11th. Those are the only days I won't be available.

Hi, I live in Jackson Heights, Queens. I think it would be good if we could all meet up one day. Let me know when and where. I have to see my PCP for my last progress report which completes my 6 months and the rest of the paperwork which he will do that day. Then on Friday, the 27th I meet with the surgeon and hand in all the paperwork. I'm not sure what will happen then but I am hoping I get a surgery date or at least pre-testing appointments! I'm nervouse but excited!!

Keep cool today!!

Yay awesome we have people interested! Any ideas on an activity that would be good for both pre and post ops? I was thinking an outdoors picnic type thing at a park and we can all bring some sleeve friendly (or diet friendly for pre opers) foods? Just don't want it to be too hot (I don't do well in the heat- I'm fat and pale as a ghost so I sweat AND burn lol) Any suggestions are welcome!

I live in Albany now used to live in Huntington LI. Had surgery up at St.Peters where I work.

Thanks!! Sorry for the late response for some reason I can't see this group from my iphone. Dr. Roslin is great. Meeting up doesn't sound like a bad idea

Any pre ops having their surgery this month or in August?

Hey all!

My name is Ivy and I'm from Brooklyn (work in Washington Heights). I'll be getting revision surgery from the Lap Band to the Gastric Sleeve on Sept 17. I'm a little nervous but mostly excited. My Band surgery was 14 months ago and I'm happy to be moving forward with the Sleeve as it seems it will be a better fit for me.

How are you doing? I hope things are going well. Remember to stay hydrated. Do you see Sharon Zarabi as well when you go to the office?
