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.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
