Moving to Florida



Recommended Posts

Hey there florida bansters. I am moving back to the Winter Haven area (Polk County) I'd love to find other Central Florida bandsters to hang out with and chat with. I'm hoping to see a band doctor out of Orlando when I move back. I hear he takes blue cross and blue shield which is the insurance I will have when I get back. Hopefully he can help me sort some things out and get me back on the band track. Any one see that doctor?

Heather when are you moving back? I will be there for 10 days in Sept,(14th-24th) will you be there by then? There will be other bandsters there on vacation at the same time as I am there. If you are back by then let's get together. If not I am there at least once a year. ~Mandy

Hey Kat,

We just bought some land in Fort Walton Beach, Destin area and are building a new home. We are in the process of finishing ours here first so that will just be our winter place. Maybe we can hook up after we get ours done. We're leaving to go there for 2 weeks on May 30, to get everything started and everyone hired.

Hey everyone! Hey Mandy...long time no talk..Yes, I'll be there in September, we are moving in July so we should really look each other up.

Hey Brenda, your really close to me. What band doctor do you see? One in Tampa or one in Orlando? Or is there one in Lakeland now? Don't get discouraged, u have only been banded 2 months, we can work on it together! Feel free to pm me or e mail me as well.

Beachgirl, where exactly is Fort Waldon Beach? I haven't been there before.

Hey that sounds great! I sure would love too! Just let me know a date and time and I will see if I can make it. If it's on a weekend it shouldn't be a problem at all.

beachgirl....ahhh...i'm gonna have to look at a map. :eek: I'm from polk county and I lived in Tampa for awhile, and my grandparents are in charlotte county, so I dont know much outside of that area. when are u moving down?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
