Calling all NYC Bandsters! *Meet-Up Support Group*

[HelloGoodbye 30]

I was originally going to post this under the "Special Interest Lap Band Support Groups" but it seems to be pretty desolate over there.

Anyway, I'd love to start a monthly support group for fellow NYC bandsters. I've always found it inspiring to meet people who share similar problems and experiences with me, but since my doctor offers in-person support groups out on Long Island (a bit of a trek for me since I live in Brooklyn), I figured I'd see if I can form one in the city instead.

I thought meeting in Central Park would be a perfect location (if weather permitted)... We can have a healthy picnic, share our stories, and then, go on a scenic walk around the park.

How many of you New Yorkers would be interested in something like this?!

there are a bunch of us from the city and/or nearby..many of us banded at NYU as well. There's some threads you might want to join to communicate with your fellow NY'ers. I've been emailing with dani_nyc to set something up next month. Use the link below to converse with us.

I would be as long as it's OK if I can't make it at the last minute (my son has Autism & my husband is also disabled) so sometimes I have to abandon my plans suddenly! I'm from Queens & I also can never seem to get to LI on the evenings my surgeon has support groups

Carol, completely understandable. You sound like you have your hands tied, and I commend you for that! Very inspiring. There's a NY-based group on these boards. Let me see if I can add you to it
