:D Welcome Florida Sleevers!!!:D

I am Jenn, wife and mother of two. Currently I am doing all my pre-op testing and have 8 more pounds to lose to meet my pre-op goal. I live in Lake City Florida...about 1/2 hr. from Gainesville and an hour from Jacksonville. I will be seeing Dr. Ben-David at Shands in Gainesville. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all and who knows, maybe have a meet & greet sometime!

Hey Jenn! Congrats on the weight loss.

Well, I am 21 years old, no kids, a boyfriend, and cat. I am about half way done with my 6MSWL with my PCP (Only three more visits left! Woohoo!). I will be having my surgery in Jacksonville, FL with Dr. Steven Webb and Novus Center. Even though, I am moving to Tampa in August. It is going to be a journey that is for sure, but I wouldn't want it any other way. I love this forum and all the people on here that make it so amazing.

Lol, yeah, woot for Jacksonville! Yeah, I would love to get together with some of the people on this forum. There are quite a few in Florida if I have been keeping track right. Before or after would be great with me! But I will be gone through June and August.

Hi Everyone I am Kayla I am 22 and live in Sebring FL, BUT I will be moving at the end of the year to live with my Mom she lives in Live Oak which I am sure Jenn knows is only 15 min from Lake City what a small world...I would love to get together sometime and meet everyone. I go to Live Oak at least every couple of months but unfortunately I won't be able to pre surgery I am saving all of my vacation time for actual surgery which if everything goes well will be middle to end of July I will be having it in Orlando with Dr. Wier!! His staff is absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!!

I'm currently working towards my VSG. Just got my letter of denial from Cigna :( and am hoping to appeal...waiting for the Surgeon's office to call me back. With or without the insurance, I still want Dr Whittwell to perform my surgery. I just don't want to have to fork over money out of pocket. Oh well...I've waiting this long...I guess I can wait a little longer.

PS 42, born and bred in Hialeah!! :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
