Hello all. My name is Melissa I'm from Brooklyn Ny. I was sleeved on May12th. I'm 1 week post-op. I had my surgery at Mercy Hospital in Long Island by Dr. Holover. The surgery went well I got lucky did not have any gas pains. I'm in recovery mode now. Just trying to drink enough water it's tough. I would like to attend the next support group meeting.

Hey Melissa,

welcome! feel free to find me on facebook jill werfelman. I am from massapequa

The only support group and informational meetings I know of are at South Nassau Community Hospital. They are once a month at 7 pm on Tuesdays. Tuesday's are difficult for me though. Do you know of any others?

We host Bariatric Pal Support groups monthly. Usually in NYC, we have yet to find a suitable venue on Long Island. I have been speaking with several of the Local Library's. There are several Atrium's in NYC that are open to the public and this is where we meet.

Many venue's on Long Island are looking for a fee. We try to find venue's that are not food centered, though I am beginning to think that we may start gravitating to some of the more local coffee houses on Long Island just so we can begin to bring our groups out to the Island.
