Hi, any sleevers from Florida? What to expect from this procedures?

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.

I was in the hospital one night. Stayed in the hotel 2 nights.

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.

I am in Lake City Florida
