I am from Florida and had my surgery in Boca Raton with Dr. Shillingford. He was terrific and very caring. He spent an hour with me post op answering any and all questions that I had. I was self pay and he charged $10,500 which I think was very reasonable. Good luck to you!!

My surgeon was Dr. Jawad he and his team were amazing!! Tomorrow I will be 7 weeks out. I was a self pay patient I went to my first consult in January and would've been done with my appointments and good to go in march' date=' but scheduled my surgery in may because of my husbands work schedule. I took 2 weeks off work for recovery could've gone back at about 10 days with no issues! I had very little pain at all during the recovery, the worst was end of week 2 into week 3 at the large incision because my muscle was repairing itself. My husband went to Mexico for the sleeve dr. A Ortiz at OCC during my week 4. My journey has been wonderful!! If you have any questions feel free to ask![/quote']

I am also a patient of dr jawad!! I'm finishing up my six month diet and hopefully getting sleeved in November!!!

I live in the Tampa area and my pre-op appt is July 23rd and surgery August 9th.

My surgeon is Dr John Dietrick in Tampa.

I made the mistake of reading someone's complications story and am scared to death! All I need is to have complications for my husband to tell you " I told you so."

I live in Tampa and was planning to use Dr Deitrich, but my insurance said I had to use Dr Murr or Dr Gonzalvo at Tampa General....I was sleeved on 6/26 by Dr Gonzalvo....as with any surgery there might be little rough Patches during recovery, low energy, a little pain.......even with that, I love my sleeve. I Have lost 18# post op, 26# with my pre op diet!! The only regret is that I waited so long to decide to have it done. ;-)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
