Where at in NYC?

I had my sleeve done back in June and I've been going to the post-opt support group meetings in Queens. Met some really supportive people there.

    How are you feeling? I really need to be part of a support group I'm doing this without any support whatsoever

    I feel amazing!! The first couple of weeks before and after surgery were tough because we have to do everything we weren't doing before; like portion control, watching what we eat and exercising, but it's all worth it. My only regret is that I didn't do it 3 years ago when I first heard about it.

    Right before surgery I was down to 322lbs from 352lbs. I had sleep apnea and high blood pressure. Now six months later, I'm down to 248lbs, no sleep apnea, no blood pressure meds, I can even run faster then my 10 year old son. I go to the gym a lot which helps tremendously but even if you just walk everyday you'll feel great! Some have more complications then others, so it takes more time to adjust to your new eating habits but I've never talked to anyone that says they wish they never got wls.

    Not sure if you wanna travel all the way to Queens for the support group. Ask your surgeon about any support groups near you. We have one guy that works downtown but he lives in Long Island so when they have the meeting he stops in on his way home. Not sure if it'll be that easy for you

    I'm having my surgery on Jan 30th. I wish I would of done last year but I just wanted to do my research and make sure I would be mentally, emotionally and physically prepared. Its a life changing experience that you cannot change back too. I'm having the Gastric sleeve and look forward to the positive changes. I was 245 b4 I went to the seminar, 236 at my first appt after the seminar and now I'm down to 224 lbs. Im so focused , anxious, excited and nervous but it's all to get my health issues in order. I have heart disease, high blood pressure and at the beginning level of diabetes.
