    Default Meetup in NYC - February 2014

    I would love to get together with other WLS peeps! I live and work in Manhattan - there has got to be people visiting or near enough for a quick bus, train or drive!! Who's in for getting together? Maybe we can see a show or something, and have a decaf coffee!!!

    Let me know if you're interested!!

    Hi Rachel,

    I'm also from NYC and would love to connect with other NYC people. Let's see if other people respond.

    On a side note,how much time did you take off for your surgery?

    YAY!!! I'm so happy we're getting a nice little group together!! The more, the merrier!! It would be cool to do a test run - and then later, we can have a bigger one. Who is up for meeting next Sunday, February 23rd?! Let me know if you can make it - I don't mind if it's just 1 other person - at this point, Im just eager to meet others who are dealing with the same thing. Hit me up - and let me know for sure, ok?

    Have a great night!

    Rachel

    Sorry I haven't checked this thread in a while.

    Best wishes to those with upcoming surgery dates and I hope all is going well so far for those newly sleeved.

    I'm still very much interested in meeting up but next Sunday won't work for me. Please let me know the next planned meetup date and I'll try to be there. I would love to meet some other people going through this journey.

    I look forward to getting to know you all.

    Best wishes,
    Kimberlee

    Hi everyone. I am new to this site, and I am very happy to find this post. I am interested in the next meet up. Since I just found this site today, it's too late to join today's meet up, but I would so love to meet anyone or everyone in the next meet up! I have a car and would be driving into the city from Long Island. So anyone that lives in Long Island or Queens can catch a ride with me into the city if you want. (I am a sane normal female in my 30's, back in college). I can't wait to meet some of you! It's been hard to talk to anyone that would truly understand. Most people that I have told look at me like I am nuts and say "really,why?", or "that's ridiculous", or "that's crazy", or "really, you?"... Or worse, they start giving me unsolicited diet advice like I've never been on a friekin diet. "Just drink more water, and do yoga, blah blah blah".. I am sick and tired of negative reactions from people, and I just want to be around some positive people that will not ridicule me about this surgery. The only person that is 100% positive and encouraging about my surgery is my fiance. I'd love to meet some of you and make great memories with some laughs and smiles! Let me know when is the next meet up and I am there!

    oh, Desire155, you are from the Bronx, or anyone from the Bronx, if you also need a ride back and forth to the meet up I would gladly pick you up, since I have to drive across the Bronx anyway to get to Manhattan. As long as I have room in the car! lol
