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

We missed you!

It was great getting out and chatting with all of you. How could it not be awesome. The only guy surrounded by lovely ladies. Maybe next time they'll be another male in the group for when the conversation turns to dresses, pantyhose/stockings. If not, guess I'll have to do some research on the subject.

Yes, it was great to see you all and catch up. Cool place, Jack. It was also nice to meet another new person (but I feel bad that I don't remember your name...something with a "J", I think). Looking forward to our next meet-up!

January 28th seems to be the best day as long as we are not going to get a blizzard or another 8 inches of snow we can meet around 2. Since, we have met the last two times in Suffolk County how about someplace in Nassau Counry this time? If anyone has ideas of places to meet in Nassau let the group know.

I am happy to say that I am 2 pounds away from being under 200 pounds in over 10 yrs. I am so happy I finally decided to do the surgery. I purchased a dress in size 16 for my nieces Baptism this coming Saturday from being a size 22/24. I actually have curves again:)

Look forward to seeing everyone on the 28th and hearing how everyone is doing that recently had the surgery.

Have a great week!!!!

Laney, that's awesome that you are so close to being under 200! I don't even remember the last time I was there! Maybe college...so 20+ years ago. Well done!

Thank you Gina, I officially made my first goal and that was to get under 200 pounds and I did that this week:) I set my next goal to be around 180 by the time we go to Disney in April. I am taking it slow and seems to be working out just fine.

Hope all is well with you and see everyone agin soon.

Hi All,

Sounds like there have been some great things happening for this group! Sorry I have been largely out of touch. Lots of family issues and some of my own health issues as well.

I'm glad to say (and almost afraid to say..) I am doing better and the in law's seem to be in a stable place right now.

It would be great to meet up again! I'm struggling to get back to that 200 goal..having put on about 35 pounds since having my band emptied back in June. It's always good to have supportive people around on the same journey as you!! It helps so much!
