I think their support is on Wednesdays but at a time that makes it tough for me to go after work. I work up in Jupiter, which makes it easy for my appts. I just never get out of work until 6ish.

Hi @@ssflbelle! I live in Lake Worth too and see Dr. Vaughan. While he didn't do my surgery since I didn't here then, I go to him for fills and monitoring. I've found he and his staff to be fantastic! Looks like you've made great progress o far.

HI There Glad to hear there is someone else is seeing Dr Vaughan. Do you go to the support group? When is it?

The weight I have lost is without the surgery. I have been trying for over 16 years and came to realize I need the surgery to lose the remaining 200 pounds. I was once 497 pounds and hope to get to 155 with the surgery.

That is good for me. I work on Tuesday and Friday. I don't see Dr Vaughan until Aug 23rd I will have to ask him at the time if I can start to go or if I should wait till I have surgery.

I am in Boynton Beach and had surgery at Bethesda Hospital...Surgeon was Dr. Lopez-Viago. Was pleased with doctor, hospital, no complaints. Bethesda has support groups and the follow up from Dr. Lopez-Viago is excellent.

Can people who had surgery by another Dr go to this support group? It is much closer to me than Jupiter. When is it?

I see you found the South Florida group. I believe jemars and isit5yet had Dr Wizman. Maybe others too as there are 5 pages to this thread.

Hi,

I’m In Bonita Beach. Pre-Surgery. Would definitely like to find a support group or network in the immediate vicinity after sleeve surgery. Do you know of any?

I had surgery in Naples/Ft Myers area in March with dr Denk. I love him. I haven’t heard of a support group but I’d love to hear of one. I’m a lapband to gastric bypass patient.
