East Coast Bash Recap & Count



Recommended Posts

Hey guys, Just wanted to remind everyone of the East Coast Bash.

It is the weekend of Sept 23, 24, 25.

Some of us are arriving on the 22nd and leaving on the 26th. I am staying at the Wyndham Garden Hotel by Laguardia. So taxi's for me everywhere.

Thursday, the 22nd I will arrive in the afternoon and would be up to meeting someone for dinner possibly.

Friday, the 23rd we had discussed a dinner to meet and greet everyone. Has anyone decided on a place or time?

Saturday, the 24th is the Walk from Obesity 5K along Riverside Park. If you are interested in participating then here is the link.

Manhattan, NY - The American Society for Bariatric Surgery - Walk From Obesity - Sept. 24, 2005

Sunday, the 25th is a free day or travel day for some. I plan on going to some museums or just walking the streets of New York and playing sight-seer. Anyone wanna go with?

I think NJCHICK mentioned something about if it was gonna be in Joisey then she would be there. Well right now there are NO REAL plans. So it could be anywhere in the NJ/NY area at this point. LOL!!!

So peoples speak what would you like to do? Any suggestions?

I would love to attend but I will be away til Sept.27/28. The following weekend would be perfect for me. Has the date been confirmed? I don't mind any east coast location. It's the date that is more important. I know it's difficult to accommodate all so I'll just keep watching to see the date and location.

Have a great time!!!!

      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.
