Any LI Bandsters?

[NYCMom41 0]

I'm not a LI resident, but I am a NYC resident so would love to keep in contact with everyone. I went for my first consult on 5/13 and completed all my appointments (cardio, endoscopy, pulmonologist, endocrinologist, gall bladder ultrasound, psych, and nutrionist) within 4 weeks. I am a NY state employee and have an excellent health plan so it was pretty easy getting all this done in a relatively short period of time. Whew, with that said, my surgery has been penciled in for the 14th of July and now I'm getting a bit nervous. I spent so much time booking these appointments and exams that I didn't do much research about post-op lab band information. I've been overweight the last 10 years prior to that, I was never more than 130lbs. Unfortunately dealing with my mother's illness, I turned to food for comfort and steadily gained about 10lbs per year until I am now 230lbs. I am not looking for a goal weight but more a healthy weight.

I would love to hear from everyone and maybe we can become cyber friends.
