Welcome Florida Sleevers

[JennsNewLife 3]

Welcome Florida Sleevers!!!

I am Jenn, wife and mother of two. Currently I am doing all my pre-op testing and have 8 more pounds to lose to meet my pre-op goal. I live in Lake City Florida...about 1/2 hr. from Gainesville and an hour from Jacksonville. I will be seeing Dr. Ben-David at Shands in Gainesville. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all and who knows, maybe have a meet & greet sometime!

Hey Jenn! Congrats on the weight loss.

Well, I am 21 years old, no kids, a boyfriend, and cat. I am about half way done with my 6MSWL with my PCP (Only three more visits left! Woohoo!). I will be having my surgery in Jacksonville, FL with Dr. Steven Webb and Novus Center. Even though, I am moving to Tampa in August. It is going to be a journey that is for sure, but I wouldn't want it any other way. I love this forum and all the people on here that make it so amazing.

Lol, yeah, woot for Jacksonville! Yeah, I would love to get together with some of the people on this forum. There are quite a few in Florida if I have been keeping track right. Before or after would be great with me! But I will be gone through June and August.

Hi Everyone I am Kayla I am 22 and live in Sebring FL, BUT I will be moving at the end of the year to live with my Mom she lives in Live Oak which I am sure Jenn knows is only 15 min from Lake City what a small world...I would love to get together sometime and meet everyone. I go to Live Oak at least every couple of months but unfortunately I won't be able to pre surgery I am saving all of my vacation time for actual surgery which if everything goes well will be middle to end of July I will be having it in Orlando with Dr. Wier!! His staff is absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!!

I'm currently working towards my VSG. Just got my letter of denial from Cigna and am hoping to appeal...waiting for the Surgeon's office to call me back. With or without the insurance, I still want Dr Whittwell to perform my surgery. I just don't want to have to fork over money out of pocket. Oh well...I've waiting this long...I guess I can wait a little longer.
