That restaurant doesn't sound familiar. Was it there in 1979 - 1983? That's when I was up there. Our favorite, when we could afford it, was Wing Tai. Then there was Dave's Sisters Subs, of course. :)

It's been several years since I've visited, unfortunately. I guess it's about a 5-6 hour drive from where I live now.

I loved the Finger Lakes reqion, and would seriously consider relocating there someday...

HI Barb!

I go to support group in Cooperstown, NY. It meets on the first Tuesday of every month. I don't know if Cooperstown is any closer to you. But, if you want more info, let me know!

I saw that someone here is in Ulster County.... I was JUST down your way the other day, doing some work. SMALL world!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
