Just wondering if there are any South Florida Sleevers out there. I am in West Davie out near Weston. Looking for a support buddy.

Hello Notforthefaint,

I am in Davie out west near Weston. I am hoping I will get my surgery date in early August. I have my sleep study on Fri 6/26 then one more visit for Nutrition and my endoscopy in July. Hopefully, I get a fast response on the approval from insurance.

I am actually going to the Oband center in Hollywood. My surgeon will be Paul Wizman.

I have met Dr. Wizman, years ago.

He was recommended by my primary MD, she sId he had a very low complications rate for surgeries and the RN in her office used them for her band surgery last year.

When I met him I went with my ex-husband (he'd had a bypass and out-ate his surgery as Dr. Wizman put it).

He would have been my first thought honestly but he wasn't listed in-network for my insurance.

I am however ecstatic with my surgeon Dr. Radecke up in Sebastian.

We hit it off immediately. My next appointment is this coming Tuesday and I am already chomping at the bit!!!

I want to know what's next??

I have heard good things about Dr Wizman too i went with Dr Shillingford since he has a good self pay price and reputation June 29th is coming up soon for me

I am in Port Saint Lucie. Dr Jefferson Vaughan in Jupiter is my surgeon. I am three weeks post op and have no complications so far.

I don't know if I count but I'm across the way in Fort Myers. My surgeon is Dr. Thomas Bass and I should get my surgery date any day now.

Up until last Aug. I lived in Cape Coral and worked in Ft. Myers. I was going to see Dr. Bass when my band slipped but I knew we were moving and I wanted to wait and get a dr where we moved so I could do the support groups. I use to work for Lee Memorial. I miss the other coast but not "season". Lol. I wish you the best of luck with your journey.
