New York Bandsters?

[lovekatz1975 1]

Wow - 46 pounds in 3 months, that is AMAZING!!! I was banded on 10/1/07 and I'm down 34 pounds. It might be more, I go for my 3rd fill this afternoon. Between my first and second fill, I was challenged with 3 ccs in my band, no restriction at all, Thanksgiving, and I quit smoking. Hopefully this time around I see more of a difference on the scale.< /p>

Hey Ladies! I'm a NY'er too. Live in midtown Manhattan. I'm just over 4 months post-op/at 7.5 cc's and down 47 lbs!!! I'm crazy excited to be 3 lbs away from my half-way point.

Dr. Jacob did my surgery at Mt. Sinai and does my fills. He's an amazing surgeon!

Lucky enough to have found my sweet spot after only two fills, and hoping to be at goal before the summer. My only complaints are hypertrophic scarring of my incisions (hoping to be remedied by laser scar revision) and some minimal hair loss.

Hey all! I'm Elisa...27 years old from NYC, more specifically the Bronx (the nice part!!! lol). I was banded on 12-20 by Dr. Fielding and am so happy to have chosen NYU!

I am still new to this and I would love to have some sort of local support group as Leona suggested in an earlier post! Maybe we could meet up in Manhattan somewhere...What does everyone think?

UES here ... I was wondering where all the city folks are ...

I would love to get a support group started.

My seminar & consult is set for the second week of January @ Lenox Hill Hospital with Dr. Roslin.

I was banded by Dr Kurian - it will be 2 years Jan. 13th. So far I've lost 109 lbs. I still have about 30 - 35 lbs more to go. I'm so thrilled with the band I can't tell you. I would never have it out and so glad I made the decision to do it. I more than thrilled with the results and I feel so much better. No more being tired, no more feet, ankles or knees hurting. I am so much more mobile and the best is the clothes I can wear now. That was a hard adjustment - shopping in regular size stores and finally realizing that I didn't need the 3X top or bottom.

Girls... You're in for quite a treat once you start getting into smaller sizes if you haven't already. And all the compliments you'll get are so nice to hear too.

It's so nice to meet you all.... It would be great for everyone to get together at some point and bring a pre-band picture with you...

Hi fellow Nyers - Anyone here from NY hospital?

[BansterNYC 0]

I live here in Manhattan and was banded 7 weeks ago by Dr. Brian Jacob at Mt Sinai Hospital. I have lost 23lbs so far (pre-op and post-op loss). I am now filled to 6cc in my 11cc VG band. I feel restriction, but can still eat a lot of food at each meal. Maybe the next fill will get me to the "sweet spot".

I'm from Westchester and the UES. I would love to meetup with you guys if you do a support group in Westchester or Manhattan. I have never attended a support group for WLS and it would be nice to see other girls who are going thru the same thing as me:)
