Wow!!! What a small world...I'm in Mineola, only a few towns away from you!

Hello fellow Long Islanders! I live in Nassau County and will be having my surgery at Winthrop University Hospital. I need to do the 6 month weigh ins, but hopefully it goes by fast.

Hi Love, great to meet you. I'm having surgery at Syosset Hospital. Work for NSLIJ system so having through insurance. I did my 6 months 2x. First was interrupted by a sickness then death of someone I was caring for so...

Well, just finished the second round last week. Doing cardiology workup then back to Dr for liquid diet and date!

Live in Shoreham but work in Plainview.

Believe me it will go fast, the 6 months. I was upset to do 2x and now it's over, I'm surprised!

I am hoping to go to support groups in Syosset. Keep saying I'm going after work...but we can form our own too!

Wow I didn't see the updates! I'm in between you both. In bell port. Im five years post op! It's nice to meet you! I'm glad that there are other Long Islanders on here! I had almost given up on this until I just saw my email.

5 years. Nice. How are you doing? Good to meet you too. Looks like we can have a nice group here.
