Any Florida Sleevers?

[*susan* 1,709]

Hello, I'm in Orlando. Plan to get sleeved on July 12 by Dr. Shillingford. It can't come soon enough.

I remember waiting for my surgery date, so exciting! Now is a good time to be really educating yourself, and joining BP is a great step towards doing that. I look forward to following your progress.

I live in and used to work at Brandon hospital, so professionally I can say that dr Chavda is wonderful, I wish my insurance covered it so I could use him! Going to TJ in 58 days to get sleeved!!!

Wow! I go away for a while and 16 pages in this thread! Had my sleeve in 2012, still doing well. Living in Zephyrhills now.

I've gained at times and lost at times but still staying over 100 pounds lost off of my original weight. I have found that my level of activity has a lot to do with my weight.

@ mlbdl, Dr. Wizman is also my surgeon. I had my surgery on 6/15/16. I want to know what your typical day of eating looks like? I feel it's hard to keep up with the "Food Boot Camp" especially when you're on the go. Also, congrats on your weight loss so far!!

So nice to see a Florida thread that is still active. The South Florida threads seemed to have died, no activity there in many months.

I am in the West Palm Beach area and had my sleeve, gallbladder and hernia done in Jan of this year. Have lost 71 pounds since my surgeries but overall lost 254 pounds from my highest weight. Still have over 80 pounds to lose and I have notice my weight loss is slowing down. This post month I haven't lost much weight. I am sure it is because I haven't been biking much due to the horrible heat down here. However I was doing Water aerobics.

For those who don't know me I have very little ability to walk due to back and hip problems. Well this Tuesday I fell in the house. I was able to get myself up, which I am grateful for, as last year I couldn't. However I seem to have fallen into a bit of a depression and haven't even been doing the Water aerobics. Not sure how to get myself out of this funk. Have any of you fallen into a funk only 6 months post op? what did you do to get out of it? Anyhow it is good to see a Florida thread that is still active.

Yes, I actually had pretty severe anxiety and depression after surgery that I couldn't shake. My doctor finally put me on medication for it that helped a lot. I also struggle with back/hip issues that I'm going to therapy for right now. I'm mobile. But I'm in pain a lot.

Congrats on the amazing weight loss!!! That is awesome. Just try to do a little exercise every day. What you eat is a lot more important that how much you exercise.
