    Hi Sassy, I'm in the Tampa Bay Area hoping to get sleeved in July by Dr. Koppman at Flagler in St Augustine. There are only a handful of hospitals that United will allow me to use.

I had my surgery in MX but had complications and ended up in the ER in Viera (I live in Viera) and had an endoscopy with Dr. Teiu. I love him in fact I have an appt with him next week just to make sure I'm ok and to try and get rid of this H Pylori. I am 3 weeks out and have tons of questions for him like why can't I swallow and drink without pain and bubbles.

I am from Connecticut but was sleeved 11.5.13 hw 324 current weight 238 I reached 224 and i just moved to pembroke pines florida. Should be at goal but I fell off track after my dad passed 3 months ago. Still working out and going strong tho I'm determined to reach goal!!!

Hello All...

I live in Merritt Island and I am getting my surgery done at Viera hospital as well by Dr. Allison. I am waiting for approval from my insurance. I'm very excited. ????

Gaining back a bit is normal. I am 3 years out and am up 20 from my lowest weight. Back to basics: protein first, good food, exercise, water, limit snacking, concentrate on when you are full, don't eat in front of the TV. Good news is that your sleeve will still work for you. It hasn't stretched that much.
