Hi everyone!

I've been a member of VST for a few days now and i can't seem to find very many people from South Florida that have sleeved or are in the process. I would LOVE to meet people and make some friends through this avenue as i feel like i will need every bit of support i can get once i'm sleeved. I think it would be very nice to be able to meet up and help one another out post-sleeve. Hope there are many of you out there as I would love to hear from all of you! :) :D

Dooter! Where are you coming from? My best friend lives in Tampa. We can most certainly meet up as I drive up there quite frequently? Also, how long has it been since you sleeved?

Hazel I will give you and everyone else on here all the details. My dr. Is dr. jaime Ponce de leon and he's at INT. I'm lucky enough to have my mom going with me so i feel good about that. If you don't mind me asking, why did you change your date?

Hey ladies sorry it took me so long to reply. Very busy evening for me. But the only reason I changed my date because it was more convenient for my mom. Mind you I'm flying her in from Oklahoma she doesn't live here in Fl. Plus better for me financially that is the only reasons I changed the date. I was going to go by myself at first and was content with that decision. But my mom wanted to be there with me. Ms Confidence I know your going to do well by yourself Dr Garcias team will take awesome care of you. Plus God got you baby girl.

Hey Tiffany- I live in New Mexico right now, and our house is for sale. As soon as it sells, we'll be buying a house in Safety Harbor, and my husband will be working actually IN Tampa. So you all will be in MY neck of the woods soon getting your sleeves! Prayers for you all!

I have been sleeved for 14 months.

Dooter, Safety Harbor is such a nice place i think you'll enjoy it very much.. As i was telling Hazel i'm overly anxious and ready to do the sleeve before my nerves get the best of me you know? . How are you holding up with your sleeve? how much weight have you lost? Can you give me a menu of what you eat on a regular day.. Sorry in advance for all the questions, they WILL be coming lol.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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...
