Anyone from the Jacksonville, FL area?

[Changed2016 27]

I'm in the consultation phase. Having my surgery at mayo Clinic, but do not have a surgery date yet. I'm self pay, have Aetna insurance but my plan doesn't cover anything to do with weight loss. Because I am self pay, I'm on track for a June surgery date. Anyone else having their surgery in June?

I am from Jacksonville. I had my surgery June 2014 at Baptist Medical Center. Congrats on your upcoming surgery!

Congrats on your great success glitter eyes. You look fabulous! I'm very excited about my new journey, and a little nervous too, which I am sure is normal.

@@Changed2016 I am having surgery at mayo Jax too. Do you have a date now? I got insurance approval today. Hoping the schedule process is quick.

Hi @Changed2016. Yes, my surgery is Monday, June 6th! I'm on day 8 of my 14 day pre-op Optifast diet. Dr. Ellie is doing my surgery. Since he is new to mayo, it's pretty easy to get in with him.

Hello everyone. My name is Dee and I had surgery on 4-29-15. I've lost 120. I still want to lose 60 more. It's not easy at all but if you have someone to talk to and exercise and eat right you can do it. I wish the best for everyone
