eveangel22 7 Posted June 23, 2015 Just wondering if there are any sleevers that are in Manhattan? I checked the boards and I haven't seen any one from Manhattan New York City. Just looking for some encouragement or to offer some encouragement. When did you have your surgery? What Surgeon? Where? Hoping I can connect with some New Yorkers.

eveangel22 7 Posted June 23, 2015 Wow! Nice to get to know a fellow New Yorker! I had my surgery on 3-30-15. My surgeon was Dr. Belsley and the hospital was Mount Sinai New York-Presbyterian Hospital. I started out at 240 lbs. I have lost 35 pounds already. I don't exercise much due to spine problems but I do walk. I live in the East Village. I have been a NYer all my life. I've lived in Brooklyn, Queens, and of course Manhattan.I am glad to be speaking to a veteran sleever and Wow you have done a great job, It is very encouraging.If you don't mind can I add you to my friends list? I would like to follow your progress.It will keep me on track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bndtoslv 292 Posted June 24, 2015 Hi Twitty! Dr. Pomp. He did my band, a hernia repair later on and my band removal in April. Who was your surgeon? Which floor did they take you to? I know that there are 2 surgical floors and I have been trying to figure out if I will go to the good one or the bad one How was your experience and how are things going?
