Hi Katie! We have a meetup group for people in and around the Jacksonville area. We are the Jacksonville Weight Loss Surgery Meetup Group. You can check out our website: wls.meetup.com/7/ (put the http:// in front) We usually meet on the second Saturday of each month. Hugs, Erika L

welcome to the boards... i wish you th ebest of luck with your upcomming surgery... and ask what ever you want... someone will always have the answer LOL alexa

Katie, There are a few on here who had surgery in Gainesville, not sure which doctor. Hopefully, they can chime in and give you some feedback on their experiences. If you have more general WLS questions, post them here and we can try to help you out. This group is extremely supportive and a great group to lean on. Take care, Amy

I am in the panhandle of Florida but I am glad to be of help. I am one month past surgery and doing great. If I can be of help, just ask!
