  1. I stalled 10 days after my surgery and it lasted for 17 days. It was very frustrating but I knew it had to end sometime and it did 2 days ago. Just be patient and follow your program. (Easier said than done, I know.)

    Hi Giana. I work just about 15 minutes from Dr. Perez's office and I know someone who recently had the VSG with him and had a good experience so I am ok with him being about 40 miles from home. I figure I will be back to work when most of my follow up visits will take place and I could just go to the support meetings right after work. Good luck with your surgery.

    I'm in Lake Worth but I'm having my surgery in Ft. Lauderdale at Holy Cross with Dr. Perez. They do a monthly support group meeting at the hospital on Tuesdays, I believe.
  6. I would just thank your family and friends for expressing their concern about you but tell them that you are working closely with your doctor to get you the healthiest you can be and that they should not be worried. Then change the subject. You won't change their minds and they won't change yours, which is OK since you are taking care of you, not them. Congratulations on your WL, by the way. Great job!

    I haven't started going yet since I haven't had my surgery but Holy Cross Hospital offers a support group once a month on a Tuesday night. I'm sure you can find the dates on their website.

    I'm in Lake Worth but having my surgery at Holy Cross Hospital in Ft. Lauderdale with Dr. Perez. If all goes as planned, I'll be having the surgery in September. I can't hardly wait. Just working on my patience and also trying to get my A1C down so I'll hopefully have no complications after surgery.
  11. This is my first time posting. I am still working on the requirements that the insurance company requires and hope to submit for approval in June to have surgery (RNY) this summer. I'm diabetic and I went to a nutritionist this past week and she told me that no surgeon would operate on me with my A1C as high as it currently is (8.7). Has anyone had their surgery postponed or canceled due to their blood sugar being too high? I'm going to work hard on getting my A1C down before the summer but this has me concerned. None of my other doctors have said this could delay the process. I'm doing this surgery hopefully to reverse my diabetes or at least get me off some of my meds.
