I'm with dr Wizman to but in Wellington and he doesn't run then the nurse does and she isn't good it's all about fund raising and not talking about issues. It's not a support group. Coral Springs is too far. I'm in west palm.

I'm in Lake Worth but had surgery done three years ago when I lived in the midwest. I've gone to the Wellington support group meetings at Dr. Wizman's office.

Did u like them. ?

I haven't really worked with the surgeon. I had one fill under flouro which actually turned into a slight unfill due to reflux. I like the support group, and prefer the lap band specific one over the general group. As a band patient it's a little unnerving to sit in a support meeting with bypass and sleeve patients dropping in 2 months what has took me a year to lose.

I'm in Lake Worth but I'm having my surgery in Ft. Lauderdale at Holy Cross with Dr. Perez. They do a monthly support group meeting at the hospital on Tuesdays, I believe.

Hi there! I'm in West Palm Beach too. I want to go with Dr. Perez but the distance seems challenging. I will be going to his info. Meeting on 9/09. In the meantime, it maybe that I will be going with Dr. Vaughan in Jupiter if he approves me.

Hi Giana. I work just about 15 minutes from Dr. Perez's office and I know someone who recently had the VSG with him and had a good experience so I am ok with him being about 40 miles from home. I figure I will be back to work when most of my follow up visits will take place and I could just go to the support meetings right after work. Good luck with your surgery.

That's awesome and convenient. I heard so many wonderful things about him. I wish you the best too!

Hi Giana, I live in West Palm too and went to Dr. Perez's information session last week. He was great. I am self-pay so am hoping to have him do my sleeve in early October. His program is really structured. I met with Dr. Folwell at Good Samaritan and he seems very competent, but his office is a bit disorganized so I decided to go to Holy Cross. Good luck!!
