Any Florida Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Hi

I'm from Green Cove Springs, Fl. A little town south of Jacksonville. I have decided to have the sleeve surgery. My surgery will probably be at the end of the year. I have over the years canceled two weight loss surgeries . I got scared and backed out, I'm going through with it this time.

Have you had your surgery yet? Keep in touch.

Hello Wanda-

Thanks for replying. I actually was approved for my surgery 2 weeks ago and received my surgery date on Monday. My sleeve is scheduled for 10/13. I am also nervous, but I have no plans on backing out. I need to face this weight/food problem head on and get my weigh under control. I wonder do you have an Instagram account? I have joined the site and began to "follow" many people on the same wls journey. It is encouraging to see their photos and you also get alot of tips about food/vitamins/excercise. I try not to read any negative posts about the surgery because all that will do is scare me off. I have learned that everyone's journey is different, so I can feed in to the negativity. Good luck with your surgery!

Dr Morganthal at Baptist downtown. I have United Health Care and they are requiring a 6 month reporting of my weight through my primary care.

I have a couple months left, I have completed all tests except for the endoscopy which I am having next week. . Can't wait until it's all done and I'm on my way to weight loss.

Talk soon

Hi LindafromFlorida,

Dr Morganthal at Baptist downtown is doing my surgery. Can't wait! My ins co is United Health Care and they require my primary care to record my weight for 6 mos, I have a couple more months to go. Then they will send everything to ins co for approval! Seems like I have been doing this for a while. The waiting is nerve racking, I want it done now! I'm looking so forward to this , I already have my Protein Drinks and all my Vitamins.

I'm so glad you and your husband are doing well. Take care and will talk soon. Do you and your husband attend any local support groups?

      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
