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 was given two doctors - one at Holy Cross and one at Cleveland Clinic. I went to CC and I spoke to Dr. Rosenthal and after several visits we both decided that the sleeve would be the best surgery for me. He answered all my questions and concerns. He is great but I also looked at his team; the nutrition team, the insurance coordinator - just the whole package - I can't complain.

I had mine performed on 8/25/2014 by Dr. Nestor de la Cruz-Muñoz at the University of Miami.

Hello everyone! Im from South Florida. My surgery date is 9/26

@ Cleveland Clinic. This pre op diet is horrible.

@@ClinicalNurse82, that is great to hear. Thank you. I've done all the requirements and now I'm waiting to find out what's the next step. I know there is a class to attend and the 2 week pre-op liquid diet. How long ago did you have your surgery? How many nights were you in the hospital? I'm sorry, I'm just loaded with questions.

I live in Broward, FL. Waiting on insurance approval for the Sleeve at the Cleveland Clinic with Dr. Samuel Szomstein.

Meeee! I live in Lighthouse Point. I'm getting sleeved in Mexico in May :-)
