Hi! I'm just starting out and I will be having my surgery at Winthrop hospital. Just wondering if anyone has used this group. My dr is Dr A. Barken. I'm going to my primary dr to get a weigh in tomorrow and see if we can back track a few months.

I'm in southern Nassau county if anyone is looking for a buddy

Hi,

Congratulati on your 50 pounds loss!!!!

Sorry, to hear you are having complications.. I hope the nutritionists can help you.

Laney from Long Island also. I had my sleeve done at Stony Brook with Dr Pryor on 8/18/16. I am down 35 pounds but I have been at a stall for 2 weeks now it is frustrating.

Hope the complications get resolved for you soon.

I had my sleeve on 5/4 in Manhasset with Dr. Gellman. Down 50 pounds, having complications. Working with my nutritionist to resolve...

Hi,

My name's Jerry. I'm not technically on the island but I'm pretty close.

My wife and I live in Bayside Queens and we are both getting sleeved during the

next two months. My wife is having her procedure this Friday and I'm getting mine on Feb. 14th.

We're both very excited about starting this new phase of our lives and look forward to any support we can find.

Was wondering if there were any other couples that have had this done on this forum. I'd love to hear some

of your stories. Gotta run. Have a great day, everyone.

Best,

Jerry

Hi there, almost 9 months post-op and down 75 pounds feeling great!!!How is everyone else doing? I meet up with some others from LI that have been sleeved and if anyone is interested in joining us our next meet up is June 3rd at Panera in Garden City. It is nice to be able to chat with others that have gone through and understand the surgery we had. Elaine
