just wondered if there are any other people here who live in NYC? it'd be nice to meet some locals who have been through the process, or are about to (like me).

although, i'm of course open to hearing from everyone--no matter where you live.

Hi there! I live in NYC and I am considering the surgery. I have an appointment in 2 weeks with the surgeons at Cornell. Where are you having the surgery at?

Oh that's great! I'm having it done at Columbia Presbyterian. I meet the surgeon on Wednesday to set the surgery date.

How's your experience been with Cornell so far? Do you have a date in mind you're hoping to have the surgery done?

I'm in the process of doing the necessary steps to get insurance approval. I've been contemplating this surgery for 3 years now. I would really like to form a small support group (i plan on being a closet bander). I live in brooklyn hopefully we can help each other through this amazing but somewhat scary process.

A closet bander, i love it! that's what I'm going to be. I live in NYC, but i'm not in my 20's, i'm in my 30's. I'm about 25 in my head though :D

My surgery is at NYU and hopefully, it will be happening tomorrow.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
