Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 Sandy from Delaware and Ogretta from ? - I am from Philly. I'm scheduled to be switched on July 12 at NYUMC with Dr. Ren. Maybe we could have our own DS support group in this area (travel to NYC is too time-consuming for a regular monthly meeting)! Anyone else out there traveling from the tri-state area to NYC for DS surgery? I'd love to have someone local to talk to after surgery. All of the bariatric docs in this area do RNY exclusively.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 How about meeting somewhere in the middle; Jersey, for instance? I'm from central NJ and would rather meet anywhere than the City.
