My best friend and I went to the seminar for Dr Uchal at St Vincent's the other night here in Jacksonville. He was very personable and still very straight forward about the risks and rewards of bariatric surgery without being rude or in your face. The practice at St Vincents seems to be better structured than Dr Cywes office. They have a schedule of all their support group meetings from July thru the end of the year. Some of the topics on there were cooking classes, nutrition, meetings at the Publix for grocery shopping tips, etc. My best friend has chosen him to do her surgery. She is having a revision to the sleeve. I unfortunately due to my lack of insurance coverage has to wait until the first of the year. I've also heard good things about Dr Javier Herrera that also practices with Dr Uchal. Good luck!
