Topic: RE: UPDATE FOR NY EVENT! ADDED CLOTHING EXCHANGE!!
We can always use the help, so I'll see you on Friday! The Q & A will be wrapping up at that time, but I will be in that same area since Dr. Stapleton's Continuing Education will run until 5 or so!
It will be great to see you again! Don't forget your costume for the Halloween Meet and Greet at 7!

Hi Kim! I would love to help you out but the only problem I have is I am unable to arrive until 4pm(ish, depending on traffic) if you still need me at that time I would be more than happy to help. (the one in Rye was a blast!) See you Friday!

Topic: RE: Hi from Long Island
Thanks so much for the response. I am just nervous because I have read some post on here where people have problems with the band and insurance approves to have it removed but the patient still has to wait the 6mos for the revisional surgery. That is what I think they may do....approve me for just removing the band not my bypass. However I did go to my pre-op class today and getting all my clearances completed in the next few days. I am optimistic though....

Hi
The fact that your band slipped should be enough reason why you should be approved for revision. It isn't healthy or safe to leave your band stuck in the junction of your esophagus and stomach. Im shock they didn't go ahead and perform surgery right away to adjust it or removed it. I believe your surgeon is right and you will get approved with ease. Its a plus that your going to see the nut as well. Good Luck. I just revised 2wks ago from band to DS and doing pretty good.

Topic: UPDATE FOR NY EVENT! ADDED CLOTHING EXCHANGE!!
Hello Friends! 
We have had so many requests for a clothing exchange at the Long Island Event this month on the 21-22 that we have secured space to hold one! All we need now is a few volunteers on Friday morning at about 9 am to help receive and sort the clothing, lay it out and you're done! We will have the exchange open to the public from noon on Friday until 6 pm on Saturday! The exchange will be in the Huntington Room near the main ballroom. Please PM me if you can volunteer...this DOES NOT cause you to miss any of the sessions unless you're attending the CE with Dr. Stapleton.
Yay! Please spread the word about this so we have lots to offer!
