Hey Michele!!!!!!!!! I am from Medford and my date is July 10th! I have Dr. Shawn Garber in New Hyde Park. He is known as the best in this field in NY. He was on tv and studied with Carnie Wilson's DR. Anyway. I would love to share with you! Right now I am looking for a protein supplement that doesn't taste yucky and fairly inexpensive and packed with protein and no carbs. I Believe God is Great also....I am praying that He guides Dr.Garber's hand. I am nervous, I just went for pre-op testing today and heard all the things I must go through to keep my self from complications!!! What hospital are you having it at? I am going to Mercy in Rockville Centre....I know it's far but I really wanted Dr. Garber...he has done over 1500 of them and has perfected it. Well, Hang in there and pray, pray pray!!

You live very close to me, I'm in Ronkonkoma/Holbrook so if you ever want to get together and exercise, chat, etc.....just let me know! Hugs and good luck, lisa

Hi Michelle, I'm in Ronkonkoma and about 5 weeks post op. I had Lap Rny with Dr. Shawn Garber. He was great and I've had no complications! I am going to begin going to the gym this week. I think I'm ready and able to now start exercising routinely. Would love to chat so email me and good luck to you. Hugs, lisa

Thank you all so much for responding to my post I feel SSOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOVED ! OH is the best web site I have found on the internet for wls. You guys are like an extension of my family! In our losing together we'll be gaining so much more! Well if anyone would like to get together for some coffee, tea, etc.. maybe we can meet @ a dinner or something as a group and talk about or experiences, etc. I hope we can get to meet. Sometimes a night out with others is just what the doctor called for! I am suggesting this get-together for anyone interested (pre, post and just looking )
