I sometimes think I'm from Orlando because of being there so much, (outlets and theme parks), but I'm from Dade City. I am sure some Orlanders will chime in.

I'm from Orlando. Having my surgery feb 18th in Mexico.... Insurance denied me and I'm not going thru another 6mos of waiting to be denied again.... I'm hoping to get dr jawad to take me on as a post op patient since my previous dr will not.

I'm in orlando just starting the process... worried because we just moved and my prev pcp retired hoping this new doc wont want me to do another 6+ months of supervised diet. I really hope he can look at my records and decide this is necessary for me.

Hi! I'm new on here and saw your post. I'm in Orlando and am just starting the process. I had gone to Dr. Jawad's info seminar about 3 years ago. But at that time my insurance didn't cover bariatric surgery. So I stopped the process. I currently have different insurance and am hoping that things have changed. I've been looking at lots of different options. One Dr's office contacted me and told me that my insurance will pay for surgery after of course passing the requirements...but have since been unable to follow up with anyone at that office. Did you use insurance? Did you enjoy your experience with Dr. Jawad? Any pointers for a newbie that doesn't know which direction to go anymore?? I'm desperate to have this surgery done but am afraid I'm going to be turned down by insurance again. :(

I will be relocating to the Orlando area at the end of June. I am planning to get sleeved at Celebration Hospital by Dr. Kim. I will be self pay as my insurance sucks and will not pay for any of it. I am hoping to be sleeved by the end of the year, hopefully earlier, all depends on my home builder as I would like to be settled into the new house before having to recover from surgery.

Lexfl, are you in Ocala? I looked into jawad but couldn't afford him. I perked up when I read the name though.

      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?
      Thanks
