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

First Saturday in June Works for me. It would be nice to see all of you again!

Congratulations Jack!!! I'm so happy for you!

I also had an affair with Goldfish crackers...we finally broke up.

HA! I know all about that. It's amazing how we can fit those little things into our stomachs. I just broke up with crunchy cheetos and announced to my family that if I ask for someone to pick them up for me (while they are at the store) to say no but invite me along and let me get them myself. So far so good

I'm 1 yr 3 months post op. I just reached my latest goal of 160. I had been yoyo'ing in the 160's for 6 months and now I'm looking to get to 159. I now want to be able to say I'm in the 50's. I just had a check up and all my blood work (including A1C) came out normal. Life is good!

I'd love to get together!

I am looking for a place in Nassau County off of Hempstead turnpike that will be convenient for everyone to meet on June 3rd @ 2:30. Let me know if that day and time works for everyone and I will look for a location.

Have a great weekend,

Elaine

I also met another gentlemen that 14yrs ago had the full by pass done. Going to see if he would be interested in joining us on June 3rd.

How is Panera at 1140 Franklin Ave Garden City & 2pm on June 3rd? I think that is a good location for everyone. If anyone had another idea to meet let me know. Elaine

Looking forward to seeing everyone also. Have a great weekend!!!

Hi Everyone:

it has been many years since I was active on this Board but I wanted to share some exciting news, especially for New York City area people. I had lapband surgery almost 8 years ago and I have written a show about both my life before as an Opera Singer, my surgery and my life since. It had its debut performance on May 15th to a sold out house so we have added a second performance on July 11th at Dixon Place in New York on the Lower East Side. I wanted to share the information in case of any interest here. This board was so important to me when I had my surgery that I wanted to come back and let you know.

Good Morning,

just a reminder June 3rd is this Saturday looking to see that everyone still wants to meet up at Panera in Garden City at 2:30. Look forward to seeing everyone.

Hi all, unfortunately because of parent issues, I won't be there tomorrow. Hope to catch up with everyone next time. Have a good time!

HI Laney,

Yes! Looking forward to it.

Jack - sorry to hear you won't be able to make it, we'll miss you. I hope everything is ok with your parents.
