We will be meeting at The Atrium at 805 Third Avenue.

The building is on Third Ave between 49th and 50th Streets.

The Atrium is at the back of the space on the lower level past the shops.

We are looking forward to seeing many of our forum friends there for a fun filled afternoon. We hope to share a bit of information, education, and ultimately support with our friends!!!

So mark your calendars today forum friends and make plans to spend a beautiful Autumn afternoon in NYC.

If any Jersey friends want to attend, please feel free to cross the Hudson and join us.

*Thanks to Laurie for reminding me that the AVON WALK for breast cancer is this weekend so please leave yourself some extra time to get around town if you are coming in for the meeting.

This will be my first NYC/LI Chapter meeting. Looking forward to meeting members and to seeing Liz GoWalking again. I had the pleasure of meeting her at the last clothing exchange.*

P.S. on the Avon Walk. The street closings to accommodate the Walk route mainly will affect people navigating Manhattan's surface on wheels -- buses, taxis, bikes and the like.

* Here I go again. If you don't know about the exchange, it's fun, free and five and a half years old. Click the link for details on the next event, Thursday, October 22 in midtown.

I had a great time at my first NYC/LI meeting. Being able to connect on line is valuable, but sitting down from time to time with people with whom I share a significant experience is invaluable. Maybe if I hadn't been a chicken Little about the Avon Walk, more people would have come. Navigating the streets was easy as the proverbial pie. In fact the streets were even better than usual because of all the pink-clad and costumed, festive people taking part in the Walk.

Support meetings like this, to me, can accomplish so much. They are a forum for comparing experiences, whether good or not so good or downright bad, sharing discoveries and doing some creative problem-solving. These sessions work for people, uh, like me, who a re having a rough time and for those who are good shape and want to stay that way.

I'm glad I made it in. Looking forward to the next.

Laurie

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
