It was great getting out and chatting with all of you. How could it not be awesome. The only guy surrounded by lovely ladies. Maybe next time they'll be another male in the group for when the conversation turns to dresses, pantyhose/stockings. If not, guess I'll have to do some research on the subject.

I say the same thing. "Eating less, exercising more". I usually get a nod and they move on.

I'll be there! Coming straight from work.

I'm working until 3 on the 28th but I'll drop by to see if you guys are still there when I get out of work. A cool place in nassau county is The Witches Brew. They are at 311 Hempstead Turnpike in West Hempstead. Funky place. Lots of coffee and tea choices. If by chance you guys could push the meet time back a little I would definitely be able to make it. Either way, glad to hear everyone is doing well! Be safe and stay warm!

I really wanted to be there but I'm going to pass on today. I'm 5 days post op. Doing really well. Recuperating at my girlfriends house in north babylon. I'm hoping we can all meet up sooner than later. Can we shoot for the week between Christmas and new years?

I want to thank everyone for the kind words of encouragement. I just received a call from my insurance carrier saying my pre determination has been approved. I've been relentlessly calling Blue Cross and the surgeons office since Monday. I don't think they like me very much right now but I was not willing to accept anything less than an all out effort on their part. Everyone's support here on this site as well as at home gave me the strength to push through. Thanks again to all of you. Looking forward to seeing everyone on the 17th.

Thanks. But unfortunately I've been postponed at the last minute. The insurance verifier dropped the ball and submitted the paperwork late. Now I'm on hold with no answer until Monday on a date. Meanwhile I've taken time off from work, submitted for FMLA, and most importantly gotten myself ready psychologically. I'm beyond disappointed. I'm actually upset.

If it's a definite for the 17th I'll be there. I'll be 12 days post op at that point. Looking forward to seeing everyone. Liz, the babylon train station is only a block away from the coffee house we met at last time.

Hi all. I feel a little awkward because I haven't told anyone about my upcoming surgery but I would love to meet up with you all on Saturday. It would be great to talk to someone about all of this. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

12/5. I'm excited and a little nervous at the same time. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App
