I have a hell of a hard time getting myself to the gym, which is the 14th St. Y between 1st & 2nd. I know that, if anyone here is a member of that Y and would agree to as little as meeting at the front door and walking in together, I'd do it. Once in, of course, each of us would do her/his/her own thing because we'd be at different levels. Anyone up for it? Any takers?

Ah...close but no cigar, Laurie. I go to the McBurney Y across town.

Hi laney,

How are you feeling? I had my surgery in Feb of this year. I don't have a group that I attend but am more then happy to offer whatever support I can to you. Feel free to contact me directly.

Blessings to you,

Kim

Hello. If you're in Manhattan during the week and have too-large clothes to give away and need some clothes, the clothing exchange may be for you. The link will take you to the information. I've been organizing these free events since 2010, after losing my first chunk of weight thanks to surgery.

Is this group still active? I see some recent posts. I'm still pre-op, but I am building my community now and meeting all different people. If there is another meet and greet I would be interested in attending.

Hi @ginabee38. Unfortunately, not really as there was some interest at first but it waned over time. Lisa and I however are around still and can help with questions that you have. Also...I'm in Manhattan and would be happy to meet up with you if you are in the area.

      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.
