sarahsmiles 0 Posted August 21, 2011 I had my Lap-Band converted to a Sleeve 9 days ago and am very glad I made that decision. My stomach had prolapsed with the Band and I had regained over 70 pounds. I am glad to get back to losing weight using the Sleeve as my best tool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeatherF 11 Posted September 10, 2011 This thread has been a bit in active. However I thought i would jump on.. I just received the go ahead from m Dr today to start the Counseling/Program etc to have WLS surgery. I am leaning towards the VGS which is how I found this form. I live in Orange Park, just moved here in January. My husband is in the Navy & I will have my procedure done by Military Doctors, I am guess at NAS JAX. Husband supports me 100% and I am looking towards a better, happier, fitter life with my children..

shellbelle 4 Posted October 26, 2011 Hi, my name is Michelle and I am from Jacksonville. I don't have a surgery date but we are hoping for some time in November. I have my first appointment with the surgeon (Dr. Steven Webb) next Tuesday. If anybody else out there has used Dr.Webb, please let me know because I have a few questions and I would like to get as much information as possible about Dr. Webb and Novus Center and the way they do things over there. Thanks! Michelle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geeewhy 30 Posted November 9, 2011 Hi Michelle, Sorry I'm just seeing this. I was sleeved by Dr. Webb on September 20th and could not be more pleased. I guess you've met him by now, so you already have an opinion, but I've been happy with Dr. Webb and Novus Both. I'd be happy to answer any questions I can.
