New Jersey email support group!!



Recommended Posts

I want to get folks in the NJ tri-state area together via email and eventually have some in-person support groups in Central NJ. We get a lot of great advice on this site and I want to continue to do that, but for those of us who are close geographically, I would love to get together. And I also had the idea of playing "matchmaker" for single sleevers. What do you folks think?

More importantly I personally want and need support from all of you so anyone who wants to email can do so. I've already "met" some great people and I'd love to meet more. I've been having personal issues that I was able to "talk" about to people here and I appreciate them a lot for "listening". I also had some doubs about getting sleeved and the great folks here talked me through them.

Email me anytime or PM me here. My email is recipes (LOL) email me.

I hope to hear from all of you folks!!

Hey I'm not living in NJ/NY/PA but I will definitely be here for support!

I'm so glad you got all of your issues worked out and you have a date...exciting! Have you met and do you like the new surgeon? You know you can PM or email me anytime, this has been the best support group ever...and I've been to my surgeon's support group and this online community far outweighs that!

You've been here for support from Day 1 so I thank you and appreciate that very much!

I haven't met my new surgeon yet but I have an appointment for the 28th to meet him. I'm hearing good things about him.

Once I meet him I will be more comfortable and less nervous but I'm still very excited about getting approved and getting a date and finally getting sleeved!!

I'm definitely going to stay in touch with you and I hope you do the same. Have a wonderful holiday with your family!!

Hey there, I'm in central NJ but I had my sleeve in MX! I used to have a band that was fond by a surgeon here in NJm, but never really went to his support group. I really get more out of the online groups. I would be more than happy to get an email group or coffee/meet up going in central NJ with you! I'm 9 weeks out now and still learning the sleeve ropes!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
