Suffolk County Walkers and Support Group



Recommended Posts

Hi,

My name is Laney and I am a month post op today and I had my surgery done at Stony Brook. Since I started my pre liquid diet a month ago and now on soft foods I have lost 35 pounds.

So, I am looking for fellow Suffolk County Long Islanders that are veterans or new to Gastric Sleeve Surgery. That would like to start up a walking group and a support group to help us all with our journey to a healthier you. We can discuss any issue we may be having and exchange recipes or ideas that have helped others.

If interested let me know. I live in the Huntington area.

Hi, I am so glad you responded. I did look into groups from Long Island on this site but the conversations were from a few years ago. So, I decided to start a new one to get support and give support. It has been rough road but all worth it. I work during the day but looking to walk with someone or even join a gym it would be easier to exercise with someone else that nows what you are going through also.

I live in the Huntington area if you like we can meet someplace between you and I to chat one day.

      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?
