I'm in Hudson. I'm going to TGH for my surgery. I have only done one NUT visit so I'm just beginning.

Hi ladies! I'm in Tampa, going through TGH as well and was just approved a week ago. I do my EGD on Tuesday and hopefully afterwards I will be given a surgery date.

Dr. Robbins is great and very thorough which I really appreciated.. Do you have to go through the 6 months of NUT visits with Kelsey?

I met with Robbins yesterday. Nice guy. He's cleared me to the next phase. He told me he doesn't think I need a bypass that the sleeve would work just fine for me. Which surgery are you having?

I'm having the sleeve! I was given a few surgery dates on Friday.10/10, 10/20, 10/31 or 11/3. I think I'm going with 11/3. Getting nervous but excited

Hi everyone - I am glad I found you all. I live in Apollo Beach and having my RNY on 8 November. Nervous, nervous! Dr. Murr is doing the surgery. So far the staff at the TGH Bariatric Center have been great. So..there is no post-surgery group that meets periodically? If there is let me know, thanks!

@@wittyusername Hi! From what I understand the participation is low to none. Did you attend the required meeting post op support meeting? There were 2 post op patients speaking- 1 who was 12 years out and the other 5. No recent patients
