Any Florida Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Hi. Have you had your surgery yet? None of my friends are supporting me with my decision. My best friend hasn't spoken to me since I told her a couple of days ago. I'm very excited about having the surgery on May 11th. I would love to make a "sleeve" buddy, for support. My brother will take care of me for a week afterwards. That God for him.

Hi Merrill1955,

My surgery is 5/14, what part of FL are you in? I'm in St Pete but going to Mexico for my surgery. I am only telling one or 2 people because I feel it's my struggle & only a select few will know. Good luck with everything! :)

I live in Boca Raton, Florida. I've only told a few people. I haven't gotten much support at this end. I'm very excited about May 11th. I've already started dieting and walking. Good luck on your surgery. How long will you stay in Mexico for?

I live in Orlando. Had my sleeve on April 15. Didn't tell anyone but my husband, step daughter and godmother. Flew to Mexico alone- Dr. Ortiz and the whole staff at the Obesity Center of Excellence were great.

In the end you must be your own support. Those that have great respect for your intelligence will stand behind you. Those that feel superior to you will look at you with downcast eyes. Those that love you may express concern for your welfare but will stick with you.

Operations like this would have been much more difficult were it not for the support of great forums like this one. You are certainly not alone.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
