Welcome Florida Sleevers

[smellbug 43]

Hey Everyone,

I am new to the VTS group,but here it goes. I am in Jacksonville Fl, my husband is in the Navy and I should be having surgery in August at NAS JAX. I am beyond excited to have this surgery and start a new healthier life. I am a mom to 3 kids ages 8,6 and 2 so I am a little nervous about after surgery with my energy level and trying to keep up with my family. Also my 2 year old is very attached to me so it will be hard not being able to physically take care of him in the begining. Any advice or tips would be great. Thanks

Hello, my fellow Florida Sleevers I had surgery on 4/24 and Dr Steven Webb was my surgeon. I have been blessed to have very few issues since surgery and my return home. I am yet determined to stay active and I find that my energy level is improving more and more. On saturday I entertained a house guests and I prepared a real down home ,eal from start to finish, which had not happened in quite awhile by myself. My journey is yet in front of me, but I am happy to be 50lbs smaller and feeling much lighter.

Hi guys! Right now I am an Illinois sleever, but we plan to move (back) to FL next year. We were in Zephyrhills/Wesley Chapel 2004-2007. I expect we will move back to the area. Would love to live farther south and closer to the gulf but I just don't know much about those areas and jobs. My husband worked in Lakeland and I worked in Tampa so we were located well. We have been shaking our heads, wondering what the heck we were thinking almost since we moved back to IL. We both are from here. My older daughter is married and they are here in IL, as well as my mom. My younger daughter is a high school senior this year and is applying at UNF for Fall 2013. She's the reason we are still here, she wanted to graduate with her friends here. House goes on the market in April and she graduates in May - can't wait to be headed back to FL! I have a count down going! I attend my support group here monthly and am really wanting to find one for when we move also. So if anyone attends one in the general area and you think it is a good one, let me know! I don't mind driving 45 mins to an hour - I do here! Looking forward to getting to know everyone! I see lots of August 2011 sleevers I recognize here!

I live in lake Mary. I also have united health care. They mostly deny the surgery at first then resubmit it.
