Graystonia

Nope, never had any issues, but there was times where I did have to wait a long time, but the last few times I went to see him I did not have to wait very long at all.

Sebastian River Support Group meets the fourth Tuesday of every month at 6pm at Sebastian River Medical Center in the main dining hall (same place where the Sebastian River Medical Center seminar is). Dr. Williams (left) is the group facilatator. If you are thinking about having the surgery and want to talk directly with some patients that have already undergone either the band or the sleeve surgery please attend one of the monthly support groups. They are a great way to meet other people and learn about their experience first hand.

The next support group meeting for the Palm Bay Hospital is next Wednesday Aug24th at 5:30 if anyone wanted to attend.

The Palm Bay Hospital does it on the 4th Wednesday of the month, I'm not 100% sure of the time, but she usually sends an email before hand and I will post it in here. The Palm Bay hospital is on Malabar east of Babcock. I don't remember her hair color but her name is Jill. I have only been once so I really don't have a big opinion of her yet. I plan on going next week to both support groups (Sebastian and Palm Bay hospital).

Thanks and yes, Mr. Smiley's are all awesome, he is a great success.

Oh I'm sorry, the psyche doctor is what I meant, so many doctors we had to see. No doctors are at the Palm Bay one, just people that have had WLS and it is run by someone who is certified who had the lap band.

They also do it on the 4th Wed too at Palm Bay hospital and the nutrionist is not there.

He is my doctor too and I think he is great, went to him on July 19th and have had no complications. Check out my youtube videos and I also link to mrsmileyfl who also has some. I plan on going the 4th Tuesday and Wednesday to the support group meetings, hope to see you there.

I know this is an older thread, but was wondering if anything has changed? I just had my sleeve done on the 19th of July and the sipping is driving me crazy, I would love to have a normal size drink but I'm kind of afraid to see what might happen. If it is just a slight discomfort in my chest than that isn't that big of a deal, I just didn't want to mess anything up. Is there a day down the road where you can drink normally again?

Thanks for sharing, I'm going in the morning (19th) to be sleeved and was thinking I would bring the basics.

Tuesday is my big day when I get sleeved... so looking forward to it!

I figured I would start a VLOG if anyone wants to check it out: First one was long and you can hardly hear me sometimes. I'll try and do better the next time.

I finally was able to find this link again, I am set for surgery with Dr. Domkowski on July 19th!!

I just saw him today, how's everything going for you? With my insurance I have to do a 6 month weight loss program first and then I'll have the surgery.
