I am starting my WL journey at NAS Jacksonville. I was wondering if anyone is having surgery here, who is your surgeon, and what are your thoughts on their Bariatric program.

I already have had my first appointment with General Surgery and waiting on the Bariatric Coordinator to call me back.The doctor who I saw and I don't remember his name was pushing hard towards the band. My mind is pretty much made up for the sleeve, I have already been through the requirements once (last year) with Tricare North and was approved but for the Band or Gastric by pass. Thanks in advance!

I had my first appointment in General Surgery at NAS Jax also. I met with a wonderful female surgeon but can't recall her name. She gave me the nurse coordinator card who I called and left a message. I am waiting for her to call me back. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for her to return your call? The surgeon showed me all the options--said they don't do lap band_ and I am leaning toward gastric bypass. I am so ready to get the process started. I don't really know what to expect. Any other NAS JaX people out there who are farther along in the process? I have been on so many diets for the last 30 years....Finally feeling hopeful.

Sorry about not answering you sooner, but I'm hardly on here anymore. I will send you a private message with my contact information. Nanf1962 and I have both had our surgery in the past 8 weeks. There is a support group meeting not sure about June but July 23 . You are required to make 5 meetings.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
