:help: Hi there all, Iam Lisa and I am 4 months+ post op. I had my surgery at Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville, Westchester County,New York.

They have a support group that only meets on the first Wednesday of the month. I have not been able to attend yet since I live in the Bronx and I do not drive. The meeting is at 7pm and my husband does not get home from work until 7 and I have no one to watch my 4 years old son.

I wondering if anyone who lives in New York in the Bronx or lower Westchester Region ( New Rochelle,White Plains, etc.) know of any support group meetings that I might be able to go to that have a better scheduled time.( Nights ore weekends)

For my meetings I have used Obesity Help, but Iam not finding what I really need there.

Iam so glad that today I found this site that is all about Lapband , Iam looking foward to making may alot of a new banded friends.

Thanks for everyone's love and support,

Lisa

Hi Lisa,

I live in Manhattan and go to the NYU meeting that is on the 3rd Wednesday of every month at 6 pm. It doesn't sound like you could get downtown by that time though. I don't know of any meetings that start after 7 pm. I think that might cause you more problems than the location (there are 10 or more meetings in NYC that I know about, but they all start early evening).

LBT is a great online resource though. If you're looking for even more support traffic, you might check out some of the Yahoo Groups on banding as well (Bandsters and SmartBandsters both get a lot of traffic).

Good luck,

I'm a bit late to this, but you mentioned approx 10 mtgs in the NY area, would you know of anyplace they are listed.

I can't attend the Wednesday night meetings but would like to find another one in Manhattan (or Bklyn/Queens near Manhattan bound subway).

Thanks
