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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
