HI all,

Looks like I am a little late to the party. I live in Manhattan and was banded May 31st. I'd love to get together in person some time!

Hi veganjello. We are having another support group meeting on August 2nd here in the city. There will also be a meeting on LI in July

[veganjello 8]

Great! Do I just keep checking on this board, or is there an email list or some other way to get the information?

Thanks!

[gowalking 10,790]

Yup. Just keep checking here. I'm sure in time, we'll have a list of regulars and email the info as well but we're not there just yet. Looking forward to meeting you.

Hello fellow Bariatric Pals,

We're new to this forum but we've been avid followers of BariatricPal on Facebook and Twitter.

We wanted to let you know we have a range of regular events in NYC (UES) for those in the consideration, pre-op and post-op stages. These are free and open to anyone who'd like to join.

It would be great to see some Bariatric Pals at these events and we can jazz it up on celebration of this.

Please click on the links for more info:

Informational seminar

Obesity: Why me, why now and what can Bariatrics do to help?

Our next event is on July 24th.

Pre-op support group

Join others who have also decided to make this life-changing decision and be prepped mentally and emotionally with what's to come in terms of changes to your body, image, diet and exercise.

Our next event is on July 18th.

https://www.facebook.com/events/257633307762571/

Post-op support group

Whether it's managing your possible weight regain, sharing recipe ideas or getting inspiration from those years after their surgery, these meetings are a warm friendly meetup of like-minded people with exciting success stories.

Our next event is on July 18th.

I look forward to seeing some Bariatric Pals there!

No July meeting planned for BariatricPal Local Support Group. We will have a meeting on August 2nd likely at the same location as we had in June at The Atrium in NYC. Update with details on time/location to follow.

Hi,

This may not be the appropriate site for this question but since I am from LI, I thought I could inquire.

Does anyone know of a surgeon in the NY metro area that will perform a self pay sleeve for someone with a BMI of 32? If yes, any idea of the fee for entire surgery?

If I can find a fee that is in my range, I would pursue, otherwise I will go international to a great surgeon. Of course, NY is preferable.Thank you..

Hi Rocky,

We at 2Life Bariatrics will be able to help you.

Please contact our Practice Administrator, Asal Sepassi, at asal@2lifebariatrics.com or 866.429.5961 and we can talk through the options.
