I am still a newbie, and just browsing around.... saw many share where they are, so I wondered how many people are from Jax.

      I'm just outside of Jax, in Orange Park. I used Dr. Uchal, and will be one year post-op May 8th. Are any of you attending the fashion show on Friday at Riverside with North Florida Surgeons?

    Looks like this thread died down a little. My name is Lisa and I'm living in Jacksonville Florida. I'll be using doctor Uchal in riverside. I just recently completed all meetings and I'm waiting for my advocate to submit everything for approval.

    Hi Lisa,

    I have not been on here lately.... for no particular reason. this is a great place for support.

    I was notified of your post via email... and knew I wanted to reply.

    I am so happy to hear of your news. Dr. Uchal did my sleeve surgery on August 4th 2014. He is a fantastic doctor. and this was the best decision of my life... I wish you the best in your journey. feel free to contact me again.... I should be able to get the message through my email.

    Sincerely, Angela (Angi)

    Hello everyone! I'm just 6 weeks post surgery (sleeve), but I'm already down 37 lbs. I love how the weight is coming off, but I'm having trouble adjusting to this new way of life. I came to this site in the hopes of finding others who have gone before, and can tell me what to expect in the months to come. I know I have a lot to learn, but what an incredible journey! I look forward to hearing from you all. Cheers!

    I am not too far from Jacksonville. It's great to read all the inspiring posts. I've noticed that it's been awhile since anyone has posted. How is everyone's journey going? I also have Dr. Ahmed as my surgeon. I don't meet him again till February 3rd though. I still have a pulmonary clearance as well as 2 nutrition classes before then. Hope all is doing well. Best wishes! Great group here!
