kellypesce 5 Posted May 5, 2014 I'm in Lake Worth but having my surgery at Holy Cross Hospital in Ft. Lauderdale with Dr. Perez. If all goes as planned, I'll be having the surgery in September. I can't hardly wait. Just working on my patience and also trying to get my A1C down so I'll hopefully have no complications after surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StephanieMaria 0 Posted June 9, 2014 I had my surgery 7-2-12 with Dr.Sharma in Jacksonville. Now I live in Fort Lauderdale. Anyone know of a support group in Fort Lauderdale? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kellypesce 5 Posted June 9, 2014 I haven't started going yet since I haven't had my surgery but Holy Cross Hospital offers a support group once a month on a Tuesday night. I'm sure you can find the dates on their website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anewme954 5 Posted August 7, 2014 I'm in Ft Lauderdale. Had my surgery at memorial hospital in Hollywood with Dr Eckstein Hi Holly! We have the same doctor! I haven't been sleeved yet but I will very soon. Any pros or cons? I've only met him once and I feel that I know the nutritionist more than I know him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HollyJ2621 19 Posted September 6, 2014 Hi Holly! We have the same doctor! I haven't been sleeved yet but I will very soon. Any pros or cons? I've only met him once and I feel that I know the nutritionist more than I know him I'm sorry anewme954 I just saw this! I have n complaints at all about Dr Eckstein or his staff. They were all awesome very patient and kind. I've not had an complications at all from my surgery and recovery went really well. I met with Cristina 3 times and saw Dr Eckstein several times at my first appt, he did my Endoscopy and then my pre op right before surgery. Very good bedside manner and always made himself avaliable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
