Hey all.... is this thread still alive? I just moved to Boynton Beach from Kansas City about 6 months ago. I was banded on 2/17/2011 and am looking at going to Gold Coast Bariatric Surgery for my ongoing support and fills. I'm also thinking of attending a support meeting at JFK Regional in March. The move (a major life change) totall threw me off. Need to get back on track.

Hi

I live in Titusville but had my surgery in St Petrsburg with Dr Rehnke. I'm looking for support. Had my fill 2/6/13 first one and I don't think it's working. I'm not getting that full feeling like I did in the beginning.

I live in Coconut Creek. I was banded back in 2010 in Jacksonville, Florida but unfortunately, I didn't make the lifestyle changes needed and I haven't lost any weight. I still eat and drink at the same time and I'm still consuming regular Coke. I just had right hip replacement in January due to a blood disorder and I'm hoping to get back on the wagon. Looking for support groups in this area. Dr. Shillingford is the physician that continues to fill my band. There are no issues with the band as he has done my fills under fluoro. So, the blame on not losing weight is on me.

Hi there! I haven't been out here in several years and haven't had a fill in almost 2 years! I am ready to get back on the "band" wagon! I was driving to St Petersburg however thought I would like to find a physician near Davie, Cooper City, Weston, Coconut Creek, etc that will do fills and maybe even accept insurance! My sister found a physician on the West Coast of FL who files insurance forms! Any help greatly appreciated! Send me a private message or reply here...I will try and come back more often. Thanks all!

Dr. Wizman is in Margate, and his office will do fills. I see him up in the Wellington office in Palm Beach County. Both him and his office coordinator are very nice.

Hi All! I'm in Royal Palm Beach, sleeved May 2015 in Mexico. I've been posting in a few places because I'd really like to hang out with any other pre and post ops in the area for support, advice, and just to make friends who can relate. Some others were interested so I went ahead and started a MeetUp group: www.meetup.com/WLS-Palm-Beach-County. Please feel free to join and share. Once we've got a few people involved, I'll schedule the first event and we'll probably start with 2 a month. Thanks! :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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...
