Going to St. Barnabas to have my band removed on the 25th. Then I will get my date for the gastric sleeve. I have a feeling that I'm going to need a good support group this time around.

I'm central jersey-- Freehold. I had RNY in Feb 2013. Who's your surgeon? Mine was Dr Andrei.

You'll do great!!!

Hi everyone! Looking for local support meetings in Central NJ. Having Gastric Sleeve surgery Dec3 in Morristown, but want to find a support group more local for after. Any suggestions? I'm in the Monroe Twp/ East Brunswick area

@jcostag. Hi! I'min Monroe Twp also and getting my sleeve 1/26/15. Please let me know how you're doing !!!

Somerset Medical Center has one each month.....maybe about 30 minutes from East Brunswick

@@Penny C. - I'm doing great! Almost a month out and am down 20lbs. I think the biggest difference is how I feel...I feel lighter...easier to walk and move. I'm so glad i did it! Let me know if you need anything or have questions. I'd gladly help and would love someone here in Monroe!

@@jcostag that's great ! Maybe we can get together someday after my surgery ! Have you found a support group that you like ?

Thanks @@Chele H.

I found an online Facebook group through this site that has been amazing! I also saw that there is a group at Raritan Bay Old Bridge on the 3rd Thurs of each month, but have not gone yet.

Thanks for the info. I am very close to Somerset Medical Center but I have told no one except family about my surgery and I didn't want to run into anyone I knew so I have never gone. My little town is like living in a fish bowl, everyone knows everyone's business and love to gossip. Raritan Bay is close enough but yet far enough.

Here is the info....it is the 4th Wednesday, January 28th. I am going to put it on my calendar and try to make it.
