Thanks! I would drive 6 hours too. I seriously might just fly back if I have to. Good luck!

I just relocated from Ft Lauderdale to Tallahassee a week ago. I'm awaiting approval so I refuse to change my pcp until after my surgery. It's different for me bcuz it's a 6 hour drive . I can't imagine your predicament. However I'm sure it will work for you w/o any delays!
Unfortunately, I don't really know yet. Everything is still kind of in the air, so I'm really stressing out. I even thought if I i have to fly back maybe I would, which would be expensive. I'm also still torn between the sleeve and rny.

How soon before you relocate? If you can finish the 3 months with your current doctor so you can at least have the diet process done already. Which WLS are you thinking about having?
Hi All- so I'm in month three of my six month PCP supervised weight loss program to be eligible for WLS. However, I am in PA. My husband's job may be moving us to Jacksonville, Fl. We knew there was a chance we would move but never thought it would be that far away. Now, I'm just trying to prepare for what if and getting my ducks in a row to pick up where I left off if that does happen. Any recommendations for a PCP who agrees with WLS, specifically for a lightweight? Thanks!

@Lois......No I'm actually still waiting for surgery. Post-op I doubt I'll go to any of the meetings bcuz I'm 3 hours away. How far post-op are you? How was your experience with Dr H?

Hi All,
Has anyone had weight loss surgery at Venice Regional Medical Center or Brandon Regional Hospital? I am considering using Dr. Joseph Chebli for the sleeve procedure, and that is where he operates. I'd love to hear an overview of your experience there. I have an initial consultation with Dr. Chebli on April 17th. Any words of wisdom appreciated. Thanks much!! D.
