Any Florida Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Hi. Have you had your surgery yet? None of my friends are supporting me with my decision. My best friend hasn't spoken to me since I told her a couple of days ago. I'm very excited about having the surgery on May 11th. I would love to make a "sleeve" buddy, for support. My brother will take care of me for a week afterwards. That God for him.

Hi Merrill1955,

My surgery is 5/14, what part of FL are you in? I'm in St Pete but going to Mexico for my surgery. I am only telling one or 2 people because I feel it's my struggle & only a select few will know. Good luck with everything! :)

I live in Boca Raton, Florida. I've only told a few people. I haven't gotten much support at this end. I'm very excited about May 11th. I've already started dieting and walking. Good luck on your surgery. How long will you stay in Mexico for?

I live in Orlando. Had my sleeve on April 15. Didn't tell anyone but my husband, step daughter and godmother. Flew to Mexico alone- Dr. Ortiz and the whole staff at the Obesity Center of Excellence were great.

In the end you must be your own support. Those that have great respect for your intelligence will stand behind you. Those that feel superior to you will look at you with downcast eyes. Those that love you may express concern for your welfare but will stick with you.

Operations like this would have been much more difficult were it not for the support of great forums like this one. You are certainly not alone.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
