I'm very interested in becoming leader or helping to get the New York chapter up and running. I'm a year post op and have helped 2 people like myself prepare for gastric sleeve surgery. I wanna help more people in every way possible achieve weight loss success like I have. It is truly a life changing event. I'm currently a student I'm music engineering school. My weekends and some evenings after 5:30 are free

I want to thank everyone for the kind words of encouragement. I just received a call from my insurance carrier saying my pre determination has been approved.

I've been relentlessly calling Blue Cross and the surgeons office since Monday. I don't think they like me very much right now but I was not willing to accept anything less than an all out effort on their part.

Everyone's support here on this site as well as at home gave me the strength to push through.

Thanks again to all of you. Looking forward to seeing everyone on the 17th.

Hi all:

Did well last night at our holiday party. I had too much dessert...but did not overeat otherwise. Talked more with the therapist about why I'm struggling with the food but will also likely look to get another fill after the new year.

Got exact directions to the coffee shop from my boyfriend so I'll be on the 12:25 that gets me to Babylon at 1:44. He said it wouldn't take five minutes to get to Jacks. Looking forward to meeting you all.

Hi everyone!

I'm about 10 weeks post-op and live on Long Island. I would love to join your meetup and get to know everyone. this is such a friendly and supportive group - Have room for 1 more?

Hi,

Congrats on 10 weeks out!!! How are you doing? Tomorrow I will be 4 months post op and down 56 pounds. I am in a stall right now, but it happens to everyone, so I just embrace it.

I look forward to meeting you Saturday. We will be meeting at Jack Jacks coffee House in The Town of Babylon @ 2 pm. I will post the address for everyone later in the week.

Hi Laney,

thanks! I wish I did this 10 years ago. Congrats on 56 pounds, that's awesome.

I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone.

Good Morning,

Seeing if we are still getting together today at 2 at Jack Jacks coffee shop in Babylon today due to weather.

Hi all:

Just texted with Lisa. I won't be there unfortunately. It's not even weather related. I'm going through a pain flare and even with being on steroids, my back is not good. I'm so sorry I'll miss you all. Was so looking forward to this afternoon. If you cancel...or even if you don't...please know that I'm already anticipating the next meeting.

Liz

Sorry, you are not feeling well, we will miss you. Have a nice Holiday Season and we will meet at the next meeting.

I am out and about this morning. (Neither rain nor sleet nor ... shall stop me from getting gray roots covered!). Main roads are slushy but fine. Side streets are a mess but it is raining now so should get washed away soon.

Hey, how are you feeling? I've slacked a bit on this group and it looks like I missed the get together today! I'll try for the next one.

Hi Gina....I am feeling great. We did have a good little catch up today. It felt great to get out for a little while and catch up with the team. We are hoping to catch up again after the holidays.
