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.

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?

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.

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 had my surgery with dr lord on 5/19/14 and I live in panama city beach, fl. You are in good hands. He is a wonderful surgeon. You get a surgery date after they get insurance approval.

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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
