Looking for pre-op friends in FL.

I am almost there, I have to have a sleep study done then a wellness assessment at the hospital. Anyone else in my area in the same boat?

Where in Florida are you? I'm in Miami/Aventura. I'm hopefully getting a revision from band to either VSG or RNY (probably RNY), but I'm still trying to find a good surgeon.

I have my pre-op support group meeting tonight. And will schedule my wellness assessment after my sleep apnea test results tomorrow.

Hi. Dr Murr is extremely nice and answered all of my questions. I have met him 2x already. He is very caring and considerate.
