Any South Florida Sleevers!

[lexiemia 78]

Up until last Aug. I lived in Cape Coral and worked in Ft. Myers. I was going to see Dr. Bass when my band slipped but I knew we were moving and I wanted to wait and get a dr where we moved so I could do the support groups. I use to work for Lee Memorial. I miss the other coast but not "season". Lol. I wish you the best of luck with your journey.

Hi Fellow Floridians

I am in Palm Beach County and just starting the journey with Dr Vaughan. I saw him last week and will be seeing the nutritionist on Monday. I have to jump through the 6 months supervised diet. Does this site have friendship requests? Sure could use some friends as I have no family.

Ssflbelle. If you have face book you can send me a friend request to Debbie Hatmaker Grose. I had my surgery with dr Vaughan May 28. I see him for my one month on monday. I have lost 19 lbs according to my scale.

ssfbelle where in Palm Beach County? I am in Palm Beach Gardens!

[ssflbelle 829]

I don't know if I count but I'm across the way in Fort Myers. My surgeon is Dr. Thomas Bass and I should get my surgery date any day now.

Dr Bass use to be in South Florida as I went to see him in 2008 for the lapband. My insurance at that time wouldn't pay for the fills so I didn't go through the surgery. He was very nice and his staff was friendly but he was over an hour 1/2 away from my home. This new Dr is only 30 minutes away.

amsaf and anyone else in south florida

There is another south florida thread in the support group section. In that thread

• swerdygnome is starting a meetup group for south florida sleevers. Here is the link to that thread. http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/345913-any-south-florida-sleevers/page-2
• Her posting is the 3rd from the bottom of this page 2. Let her know if your interested in joining. I know the Doctors usually have a monthly support group but this meetup group could be something extra. I know I need all the support I can get as I only told my room mate and a friend who had the sleeve by the same Dr I am using.
