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!

I'm in Lakeland Florida and will be sleeved in June.

I am from south florida and i am so ready for this !!!

I'm in boynton beach and getting sleeved may 21st @ university of Miami!

hi Tiffany i will be flying out today back home. I cant wait to be finally home. The only pain i had that was real serious was my first night. It did get better as everyone advice as time goes by. I did have issues getting my liquid in due to heartburn n gas bubble. Its getting a bit better now. Ive been trying to get my walks in. Other than that no issues. Oh forget to mentioned i did had a real bad headache.

Hey everyone I live in sw florida also and was sleeved feb 18th. lost 20 pounds total, a slow losing process. any questions feel free to ask. mary

Hi Nurse, welcome! i did not know that the University of Miami does sleeves.. Is your insurance paying for it? i chose to go to Mexico because i didn't want to go through months of evaluation and have to wait even longer for approval from my insurance.

Hey Confidence! i'm so glad to hear all is going well for you. I read your post the other day regarding the headache you kept having to deal with.. i think it was due to dehydration. How's the heartburn and gas bubble? are you feeling better with that?

Hey Tiffany, unfortunately my insurance has a clause that they won't pay for wls, but I didn't feel comfortable with Mexico so I'm self paying when's your big day?
