Recommended Posts

Hello, Does anyone know if there's any meet up support groups in New York?

I was banded at NYU and I know they have a support group once a month. I don't go because ...I get my support here. There was talk of some of us New York folk getting together over the summer but it sorta fizzled out.

I would LOVE to have a mini meet & greet in NYC. I was also banded at NYU and have only attended a seminar conducted by Dr. Warren Huberman about how to overcome over eating last Nov.

readysetgo611 is in Brooklyn. I think she might also be interested. I saw Huberman for the psyche consult the insurance company required.

Hey, I will come to the city for a meet and greet. I live in Orange County, NY. I could take the train to the city. I was looking for some kind of meet and greet to talk to other banders. Most people don't understand what we go through and it is hard to get support sometimes.

Me too. I lived in Blooming Grove. It was really nice there but I worked in NYC and the commute was just too much for me. This was before the train went into Penn Station via the Secaucus transfer and the bus was the only way to get in.

I don't think I lived in NY at that time. When I take the train out of Harriman it has always transferred into the city.

I moved here in 2000, but I probably took the train for the first time in 2003. We use to drive into the city but then I found the train was much easier. I am originally from California.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
