Looking for a WLS buddy in the New york/ Long Island area!

Hi there! I am looking for people who have had WLS or are going to get WLS this year in the NY/LI area. My band to bypass is scheduled for 04/05/17 with Dr. Ahmad! I also have instagram and Facebook. Even if you aren't in the area but you are planning on having WLS in the spring, it would be cool to have some people to chat with aside from support groups!

    Hi. I had bypass on 12/05/16 and located in queens.

    Mine wasn't a revision so I don't know if there are differences but it's been great so far with one exception.

    Hi there! I am on LI, and was sleeved in December. There is a great group of WLS individuals on here who meet up for hot beverages a few times per year and share their experiences and provide support. Check out the Long Island/NYC Group.
