NYC Girl 14 Posted September 16, 2012 Should have mentioned that most of the jeans/pants are shorter lengths! I am only 5'3" (part of the reason my excess weight was such a problem)! NYC people, message me and I'll give you my address and we can arrange to meet. Lisa in NYC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still not thin enough for "regular" sized misses clothes yet i'm in the grey zone. For tops it's not so bad i can ware a 14/16 and it's tight(got wide shoulders and boobs still) and a size 18/20 hubby says looks sloppy but i think it look fine.

NYTeacher 43 Posted September 23, 2012 Hey NYC girl--- I'm nowhere near those sizes but I both live and grew up on the upper west side. It's strange, but its comforting to know my neighbors include bandsters. Congratulations on your losses. Where we're you banded, and how long ago? My surgery date is October 15 at NYU.

NYTeacher 43 Posted September 23, 2012 I'd love a NYC get together. The only thing is, and I know it shouldn't matter, is that I will be the heaviest one. That said, I'd like to meet you all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gowalking 10,790 Posted January 22, 2013 Hi all you NYC gals. I did a search on 'Manhattan' and saw this thread. I'm newly banded...Dr. Ren did my surgery a week ago. So far, I'm doing well...feeling OK and managing as well as possible on the all liquids. I have made some modifications...I'm drinking thicker Soups to help fill me up...and pureeing some of the ingredients....veggies and such and putting them back into the soups. Also added a couple of spoonfuls of pastina again to fill up. No problems so far and went today to food Emporium to buy some items for the mushies stage. Sugarfree pudding, instant cream of wheat, Ritz crackers for after mushies. Can't wait to put some tuna or egg salad on a couple of ritz crackers for lunch. Never would have thought I'd long for egg salad...but never thought I'd be getting a band either. Would love to hear from any of you regarding how you are doing...what kinds of experiences you all are having, and things like going out to dinner....which is such a part of living here as you all know. Have you gotten together? I'm going to try to make it to the support group at NYU...do any of you go there? I'm also going to join the Y finally after talking about doing so for many years. I have arthritis in my knees and exercising in the pool is better for me than walking/biking. Would love to hear from some of you fellow city dwellers.

There are two support groups run out of the hospital. One is for new bandsters and one is for those who are a year or more out. Did you have your surgery at NYU? If yes, the office can give you info.

I also, thought there was an informal NYC support meeting where people on fro NYC from this board were meeting. I'm trying to find an informal support group for NYC folks but nothing specific so far. Just a few threads for NYC folks like this one. If you can find something more, please let me know, OK? I've been in touch with some of the NYC folks but no face to face that I can find. The info is below for the support group from the hospital. I'm a week post-op and was also very nervous about the surgery...all those gas pain horror stories...and nausea and bloating, etc. I can tell you that I had very few issues and have been feeling better and better each day, and so far no issues with the liquid diet either...even with thicker Soups and a little pastina to help fill me up. I've been hungry at times but have gotten through it with ice pops, or the Protein shakes and the soups. Good luck and please keep me posted on your recovery. 0-12 Months After Surgery Third Wednesday of every month, 6-8 p.m.. Location: 550 First Avenue, Skirball Conference Room. Take the "D" elevators to the 2nd Floor. Our Office: Phone: 212-263-3166 1 Bubie1916 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
