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

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
