Hi Julia,

I'm from Long Island. My surgery was April 15th. Some complications but I'm recovering and back to work full time. I'm looking for a buddy to chat and possibly walk with.

Good Morning, I am in the begining of the 6- month pre op stage for a gastric Sleeve at Montefiore Hospital in the bronx. I am excited but at the same time a bit worried. I joined the forum to talk to others and ease fears and begin to form a support network. Would love to hear some tips and advice on the procedure.

Hi!

I'm 8 days post op,...... Protein, protien, protien. I've been drinking the Isopure (passion fruit) I think it's called, and I feel great so long as I have enough protien. When I start getting creative and think I don't need the isopure, I start getting food ideas, which usually don't work out so well... Good luck!

I'm thirteen days post op Premier Protein has the best taste in my opinion and 30 grams of Protein they sell it in BJ's so two a day is my minimum 60grams. Not seeing much of a loss on the scale but hoping that will pass soon. Still on full liquids and surgeon says stay on as long as possible. Thankfully not hungry. I hope I see results soon. Lost about 35lbs prior to surgery. And only about 4lbs since. I live on Nassau county Long Island.

Hi All, it would be awesome if long island sleevers, and others interest in driving to long island could find a way to form a a support group, via Facebook, or other venue, and possibly meet every couple of months to motivate one another. Any ideas?

Hello all,

My surgery was April 15. I live in Nassau county and I am looking for a support group besides the meetings at south Nassau county communities hospital. I'm also interested in finding walking partners who are available after work. (7pm?)

Email me at smilesweet@aol.com

There are support group meetings the first Tuesday evening of every month at 7 pm at South Nassau Communities Hospital. They are extremely informative and very important to go to.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
