Any LGBT or gay friendly folks in the NYC area?



Recommended Posts

Hi all-

I'm looking forward to having gastric sleeve surgery some time in the next few months.

I currently live in Brooklyn, work in NYC & am often out in NJ.

I'd love to connect with other LGBT & gay friendly people in the NYC. Let me know if you're here.

I am here in NJ!!! I joined the LGBT forum here- but it is not very active, maybe we can work on changing that. I am having surgery in about a month- looking forward to it...at least today:)

Great to see you here!

I grew up in Bergen County, NJ. in fact, I am going to have my surgery out in NJ with Dr. Trivedi at Hackensack Medical Center. What part of NJ are you in?

I would love to get the LGBT forum a little more active on here. I've been active on here for about a week & I'm finding all of the forums very helpful in gathering more information and support as i move towards my surgery.

Look forward to chatting more!

I grew up in Bklyn, living past 35 yrs in central NJ- 30 of them with my partner, we have 3 beautiful boys- Overlook in Summit for my surgery. I find this forum very helpful- though not as active as Obesity Help forum., I am obsessed with prepping for surgery so I follow both!

I will have to check out the Obesity Help forums. I haven't been on there yet?

Seems like this LGBT forum is pretty slow unfortunately.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
