Hi

I'm new to this site and looking for a buddy to go on this journey with.

Anyone out there from Long Island New York?

Hi! Not from Long Island but definitely a New Yorker! Started my process in April! Seems like forever ago. How far are you in this crazy journey?

Hi There

I began my journey in late May

I have seen my surgeon, gone to a support group, seminar. and several specialists for clearance so far.

I am a wife and mother.

My husband doesn't want me to go forward thinking I can do this on my own.

My son 32, is all for it,,,

I feel like I need the support of someone going through the same thing at the same time as I am.

Glad u responded!

Below please find my email address as I find this website very hard to navigate and would rather communicate through e-mails.

I'm sorry you don't have the complete support of your hubs! My husband has supported me through thick and thin lol. He knows that this decision did not come easy for me and I think he respects me a but more for taking this on. I have a 6 year old daughter and I want so much for her. I have such body image issues and I don't want to project any of that on her. She's beautiful and has her daddy's metabolism, thank God! I am just waiting for the insurance company to come to their senses lol. ???? cardiology, pulmonology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, psych, nutritional counseling...I'm done. The insurance co change policy in the middle of my journey and decided that 2 NUT sessions were not sufficient and are requiring 6! Sooo that puts me at October after having an August date. I'm here if you need to vent and share ????
