Hey all.... is this thread still alive? I just moved to Boynton Beach from Kansas City about 6 months ago. I was banded on 2/17/2011 and am looking at going to Gold Coast Bariatric Surgery for my ongoing support and fills. I'm also thinking of attending a support meeting at JFK Regional in March. The move (a major life change) totall threw me off. Need to get back on track.

Hi

I live in Titusville but had my surgery in St Petrsburg with Dr Rehnke. I'm looking for support. Had my fill 2/6/13 first one and I don't think it's working. I'm not getting that full feeling like I did in the beginning.

I live in Coconut Creek. I was banded back in 2010 in Jacksonville, Florida but unfortunately, I didn't make the lifestyle changes needed and I haven't lost any weight. I still eat and drink at the same time and I'm still consuming regular Coke. I just had right hip replacement in January due to a blood disorder and I'm hoping to get back on the wagon. Looking for support groups in this area. Dr. Shillingford is the physician that continues to fill my band. There are no issues with the band as he has done my fills under fluoro. So, the blame on not losing weight is on me.

Hi there! I haven't been out here in several years and haven't had a fill in almost 2 years! I am ready to get back on the "band" wagon! I was driving to St Petersburg however thought I would like to find a physician near Davie, Cooper City, Weston, Coconut Creek, etc that will do fills and maybe even accept insurance! My sister found a physician on the West Coast of FL who files insurance forms! Any help greatly appreciated! Send me a private message or reply here...I will try and come back more often. Thanks all!

Dr. Wizman is in Margate, and his office will do fills. I see him up in the Wellington office in Palm Beach County. Both him and his office coordinator are very nice.

Hi All! I'm in Royal Palm Beach, sleeved May 2015 in Mexico. I've been posting in a few places because I'd really like to hang out with any other pre and post ops in the area for support, advice, and just to make friends who can relate. Some others were interested so I went ahead and started a MeetUp group: www.meetup.com/WLS-Palm-Beach-County. Please feel free to join and share. Once we've got a few people involved, I'll schedule the first event and we'll probably start with 2 a month. Thanks! :)

      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.
