BuriedBombshell 63 Posted March 9, 2013 Advanced Surgery Group is great. Dr. DePeri did my surgery and I saw Dr. Webb and Dr. Hagan in the hospital. Keep us posted on your progress. Awesome! I will definitely keep you all posted. I haven't asked what size boogie they use. Do you know what size Dr. Webb used? People keep asking me that, lol.

piercedqt78 658 Posted June 1, 2013 I'm in Orange Park. Just had my sleeve done on the 8th. I'm a lapband conversion, I'm down 16 pounds so far and feel great. I had Dr. Uchal at North Florida Surgeons do my surgery. I would love to get a group together to meet up, and have an informal group once a month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
