Surgery date scheduled for June 30th. Would love an online support group if one has not already been started. Maybe even some offline support as well.

Would love a local group for support. Had band to sleeve revision on May 23rd with Dr Lopez in TJ and it's been rough not having follow up here at home. Questions and concerns go unanswered and I take things day by day.

Maybe we can come up with a local support group In Orlando. That would be great. I know it's not the same when you don't have it locally. It's a a lot you have to figure out on your own.

I would definitely be interested in meeting with a local group. Also for anyone on Facebook I'm part of a group that has been very informative for me. It is a secret group so you can only be added by invite. Feel free to PM me if you'd like to have me add you.

I am scheduled for surgery one month from today - August 26th in Tiajuana - Dr Cabrera. I live in Howey in the Hills, and have two friends that have had the surgery same place in the past couple of months. We are going to start a support group in Clermont soon... I think they are waiting for me to be sleeved.

Even tho I am a month out - I just started my pre-op liquid diet. I have to lose 15 lbs before my surgery date - to lower my BMI - Im on the border of it being $1000 more for the surgery with a higher BMI.

Hello everyone!

I am in Orlando and I am going to go with Dr. Fernando Garcia possibly in December. How is everyone coming along from their surgery?

I live in Oviedo and have just decided to pursue a sleeve. Does anyone know of any good surgeons? Or, more importantly - does anyone know of any bad surgeons - the ones to stay away from?

Thanks.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
