Hi, I had Dr. Ahmad! He is fantastic! I had the I-lap 14 months ago and have had some issues. I could sure use some friends to discuss this all with!

I'm from Moriches and have had the lapband since Oct 12, 2011. My doctors are Dr. Ahmad and Dr. Agarwala. They are great! I have lost over 100 lbs. I belong to Lipo (Long Island Post Ops) which is a wonderful local support group. If anyone is interested in joining LIPO, I'll get you the information.

Hey guys I miss Long Island! I lived in Mastic for 30 yrs, now living in Central Florida!

Don't you like Florida? You are lucky to be able to have great weather all year long. How long have you lived there?

Oh don't get me wrong I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE FL.

However it's sentimental, I got married in NY, all 3 of my children were raised from birth on Long Island, my husband is buried up there, he died at 40 yrs old and I was left to raise 3 small children alone.. I did all right with them none if them ever got in trouble, they graduated college in TX Except my youngest (almost 30 now) went to Alfred State SUNY but finished school here in FL. I would say he misses Long Island the most. He now lives in Atlanta but my other two kids love TX and wouldn't move back to Long Island for anything. My youngest however, would go back in a heartbeat if he could find a decent job there.

He loves winter (not me lol)

I got off the track, sorry, in answer to your question I have lived in FL since 2004.

Hi All I live in Patchogue and I host the NY-LI Bariatric Pal support groups! I wanted to have a meeting out here on Long Island this August, and then I was in a car accident and hurt my back and neck pretty badly. I'm on the mend and getting back into the swing of things again. There are so many of us out here, I'd love to put a group together!

Any idea's for a venue that you might like to meet at? I was thinking maybe the Patchogue Library, or even the one in Mastic.

Let me know your thoughts.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
