Moving to Florida



Recommended Posts

Hey there florida bansters. I am moving back to the Winter Haven area (Polk County) I'd love to find other Central Florida bandsters to hang out with and chat with. I'm hoping to see a band doctor out of Orlando when I move back. I hear he takes blue cross and blue shield which is the insurance I will have when I get back. Hopefully he can help me sort some things out and get me back on the band track. Any one see that doctor?

Heather when are you moving back? I will be there for 10 days in Sept,(14th-24th) will you be there by then? There will be other bandsters there on vacation at the same time as I am there. If you are back by then let's get together. If not I am there at least once a year. ~Mandy

Hey Kat,

We just bought some land in Fort Walton Beach, Destin area and are building a new home. We are in the process of finishing ours here first so that will just be our winter place. Maybe we can hook up after we get ours done. We're leaving to go there for 2 weeks on May 30, to get everything started and everyone hired.

Hey everyone! Hey Mandy...long time no talk..Yes, I'll be there in September, we are moving in July so we should really look each other up.

Hey Brenda, your really close to me. What band doctor do you see? One in Tampa or one in Orlando? Or is there one in Lakeland now? Don't get discouraged, u have only been banded 2 months, we can work on it together! Feel free to pm me or e mail me as well.

Beachgirl, where exactly is Fort Waldon Beach? I haven't been there before.

Hey that sounds great! I sure would love too! Just let me know a date and time and I will see if I can make it. If it's on a weekend it shouldn't be a problem at all.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
