I live on suffolk county also. I was banded on Aug 4 2009 by Dr P Mehta at the Peconic bay hospital. I am down 16 lbs

totally agree. i live with my parents..and they have no idea..im in this alone..and have just given up on their understanding and support. i have one close friend who gets it and fully supports me 100%..but in the long run..he still will never kno what it feels like. so please keep me posted if u create anything..thanks.

Would anyone else be interested in meeting and creating a support group so we can share information and recipes and all that good stuff?

Hey everyone, another Long Islander here. I was banded by Dr. Gabriel at St. Catherines in Smithtown on June 2. He did a great job. The staff in his office is wonderful as well.

I had my second fill today, but only .5cc. Always nerve racking. So not I have a total of 3.5cc in. How about everyone else?

I know this is off topic but i need some help.

I am being banded by DR. Geiss as soon as I get approval. Who did you use for you Psych evaluation and did they take insurance? Looking hopefully for someone that takes Aetna.

Thanks
