Though it might be fun to get a group together to swap stories.

whts up my name is moon I live in brooklyn ,bout to be banded, mid sept ,im a lil dam nervous lol

I live just north of the city but I go to grad school in Manhattan.

I'm a city girl, banded in June. There's a Social Group for New York Bandsters you can access through "user CP".. Its not used much, but would be nice to build up a group there.

I live on the UWS. I will be banded on the 20th of this month!:thumbup:

So how are all the NYers doing? We never managed to get mich traction here.

Hello fellow NYers out there. I live on the UWS! I had my surgery 4 years ago and fell into a bad downward spiral and am now getting back up and really starting over! Would love to have a group to get together and support each other? Any of the NYers also single? Add that to the mix...not an easy place to be in.

I was born, raised and work in the Bronx although I live in NJ...hoping to get banded this summer either in July or August and I second that "scared as hell" notion!

Hi I'm Samantha located in northern NJ about 20 min from the city. Would love to meet other's close to me that have had the surgery. Maybe over the summer we can all get together and swap stories!!

I live in Queens and would love to meet up somewhere and share stories!

I'm from Brooklyn but live in N NJ. I'm getting the band on sep 8th. I'm exited but nervous at the same time. Would love to meet people in my area

Hi, I live in Manhattan and would like to talk to a few locals (either via email, phone or in person) who have had the surgery. Please send me a private message if you wouldn't mind talking with me about your experience. I would especially like to talk to anyone who had a BMI under 30 when they had the surgery. My BMI is 28.7 and I'm 30 years old.

Also, if you had the surgery anywhere in the New York City area, or surrounding areas, would you mind emailing the thread with where you had it done? I'm researching local doctors.

Thanks so much!

I'm in Long Island (about 15 minutes outside of the 5 boroughs), single and been banded for 4 years this month.

Question.....Have you ever told someone you were dating that you have a LapBand? If so, How long did you wait to tell them and what was their reaction? (This might need to be its own thread).
