Liza, thanks for posting to me! I saw your support group note on the rny forum but didn't have time to reply there.
I am part time in Naples - not seasonal, but come down as often was the work schedule allows. I will be there in late June and much of July. I can telecommute at various times which works well for FL.
I did attend a support group run by Dr Bass last summer. It is not an open group, but I got in because I may be shifting over to his practice. He is at the Physicians Regional Hospital I believe.
Do you have a gym you like in Naples?
Where did you have your surgery? How far out are you? I am 22 minths out and down 105 lbs at my lowest. I have regained about 5 which is driving me nits. In fact I am headed to the gym right now!
Send me a PM!

Hey Lynn, I live in Naples, also. We should get in touch because I'm looking for a support group here in Naples, and if there isn't any, I'll start one.
Love & Peace,

Hi ya! I'm in Naples, FL. Had my rny wls almost 10 years ago. I lost about 157lbs and have gained back about 50lbs. Mostly due to my own behaviors. I've decided to get back to basics and am feeling very good about getting back on this journey. I don't see my gain as a failure, just as a lesson. I will get to where I need to be, especially getting back to coming to these boards and getting the support I need.
That being said, I'm looking for a support group here in Naples, and if there isn't any I'll start one. I did it before in Connecticut and we had over 150 members, so I'm willing to start over again.
Love & Peace,
Liza

Hi Deb-
Good to hear from you. I had my RNY on 4/27 at Flagler Hospital in St Augustine.
Dr. Marema performed the surgery. Had a good experience.
Had my two week doc visit on Tuesday this week. Lost 17 lbs.
No more puree food; walking twice a day and doing pretty good i think.
Do you go to the support group for Brevard Cty? at the Palm Bay hospital?
I live in Old Eau Gallie on the river.

Hi Lorie,
I also live in Melbourne/Palm Bay.
Have you had your surgery yet?
I am always on the main boards and just never think to check my state board, so this message is a bit dated.
Hope to hear back from you!!

Topic: RE: Hubby is being transferred to Orlando! Please help me find a surgeon for my fills and follow ups!
I also recommend Dr. Jawad. He is the best of the best and I could never begin to say enough great things about him.
As far as insurance, I am also TriCare so not help there either. Sorry!!
