Hi! New here!
Hi thre! I'm new here. I live in Clearwater. I'm just in the very early stages of the weight loss surgery process. I've attended the surgeon's seminar and now I need to schedule my consult appointment. I'm really not sure how long it will take from there, since I'm so new. I do have insurance, so I'm guessing it may take a while to get it approved through the insurance. I'm going with Dr. Gonzalvo in Largo. Planning to do the sleeve. Has anyone used him?
Thanks!
Amy

Hi Amy
I'm new to Florida, but had my VSG Dec, 2008. It's the best thing I did for myself. You will have to go to dietary meetings for six months before your surgery. This is reqired, as far as I know, for all weight loss surgeries for insurance companies. The sleeve, in my opinion, is the best choice. It's a whole new way of eating, actually not eating, that you will have to get used to. Can't drink and eat at the same time anymore, but you get used to it, so no problem. If I can be of any help to you, just let me know. Good luck!!
