Any sleever in south fl get your Sleeve done by Fr. Emil Matei? If so how was your surgery experience and results?

When I was researching south Florida doctors, his name and hospital ever came up. I used Dr. Wizman in Margate. My surgery was supposed to be at Northwest but he had a falling out the day before, so it was moved to Coral Springs. I live in Delray. The patients in the support groups are fantastic. The nurse that runs the general support group, Sandy, is wonderful. The RD that has the monthly lecture comes from Cleveland Clinic and she's amazing, too. I also strongly considered CC but it was just too far and their support groups are very inconvenient from a time perspective. I wish you the best with your search. Let me know if you have any questions.

I'm sure he does a great job and you'll be very happy with the outcome. Just follow the program and you'll be fine. For me, the gas was the worst part. The posts here about what to bring to the hospital were so useful. If you haven't seen those, you might want to do a search. Having an extension cord for phone charging was key. Also having a pillow in the car for the ride home was a huge help. One of my friends recommended having small cups of liquids and jello ready to go, like the paper or plastic cups you might use in a bathroom. It worked great for me, especially just being able to eyeball portions. Good luck!!
