Welcome Florida Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone,

I am new to the VTS group,but here it goes. I am in Jacksonville Fl, my husband is in the Navy and I should be having surgery in August at NAS JAX. I am beyond excited to have this surgery and start a new healthier life. I am a mom to 3 kids ages 8,6 and 2 so I am a little nervous about after surgery with my energy level and trying to keep up with my family. Also my 2 year old is very attached to me so it will be hard not being able to physically take care of him in the begining. Any advice or tips would be great. Thanks

Hello, my fellow Florida Sleevers I had surgery on 4/24 and Dr Steven Webb was my surgeon. I have been blessed to have very few issues since surgery and my return home. I am yet determined to stay active and I find that my energy level is improving more and more. On saturday I entertained a house guests and I prepared a real down home ,eal from start to finish, which had not happened in quite awhile by myself. My journey is yet in front of me, but I am happy to be 50lbs smaller and feeling much lighter.

Hi guys! Right now I am an Illinois sleever, but we plan to move (back) to FL next year. We were in Zephyrhills/Wesley Chapel 2004-2007. I expect we will move back to the area. Would love to live farther south and closer to the gulf but I just don't know much about those areas and jobs. My husband worked in Lakeland and I worked in Tampa so we were located well. We have been shaking our heads, wondering what the heck we were thinking almost since we moved back to IL. We both are from here. My older daughter is married and they are here in IL, as well as my mom. My younger daughter is a high school senior this year and is applying at UNF for Fall 2013. She's the reason we are still here, she wanted to graduate with her friends here. House goes on the market in April and she graduates in May - can't wait to be headed back to FL! I have a count down going! I attend my support group here monthly and am really wanting to find one for when we move also. So if anyone attends one in the general area and you think it is a good one, let me know! I don't mind driving 45 mins to an hour - I do here! Looking forward to getting to know everyone! I see lots of August 2011 sleevers I recognize here!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
