London Lapbander visiting New York



Recommended Posts

Hi,

My name is Christopher and I live and work in London, UK. I had a lap band fitted in February of this year and have to date lost about 100lbs.

I am visiting New York in September this year and would love to meet up with fellow lapbanders in NY and if there are any support groups would also love to attend. Any information or contact from NY lapbanders would be most appreciated.

Hi guys,

Thanks for replying.

Anna: I'm staying at The Pod Hotel (formerly the Pickwick arms) on East 51st.

Marc: I have e-mailed you.

Very much looking forward to visiting NY next month.

Chris- Im out in suffolk county which is about 60 miles from NYC- its out on Long Island. So, the support group I go to might be to far. You might want to look at the tread for support groups in NYC.

Anna,

I am arriving on 10th September and leaving on the evening of 17th September, only in for 7 nights on this occasion but will come back for longer soon, I love NYC (and the USA for that matter).

Hi Chris- I'd love to meet up with you when you hop across the pond. I live about ten blocks south of your hotel.

I looked at the dates of your visit and unfortunately you'll miss the support groups that I usually attend, (Mt. Sinai's group meets the first Wednesday of each month, and NYU's group is the third Wednesday) but maybe you and I and Marc can make our own group and get together for shakes and stories.

I've been banded almost three weeks now and am down about 20 pounds so far.

Feel free to e-mail me as well and I'll give you my contact info: midtownchic78@hotmail.com

Either way, have a great trip!

-Valerie

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
