Hi there. I am in Wellington and had my sleeve on 10/22/15 by Dr. Shillingford. I saw Dr. Wizman originally but he was so bad to me, I didn't go back after 2 tries with him (first time he had to leave my appointment after I left work early (work in Belle Glade) (I understand emergencies though, so that wasn't the issue. I had a phone consultation set up with him by Roxanne on a Monday, so I had to rearrange my schedule at work to be able to participate in it. He never called me, so I called his office and they gave me his cell phone. I called him and he was very rude and didn't even know who I was. He told me he was in the car and had to call me back to get the information from his office staff. Well he never called. I called the office and they said he would call the next day. I waited a week and never heard from him, so I was done with that. I don't have time to chase down a doctor like that, especially when I work a lot. I also am self pay, so it would have been easy. He did me a favor as I found Dr. Shillingford in Boca and he is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Good luck with your journey. Try the Premier Protein shakes (chocolate is good). They will help you lose. If you are eating bad, try drinking more water which will also help flush you, as well as keep you hydrated. Let us know how your progress comes along. I am 5'4 starting weight 198, current weight 169. I have been in a week stall, but supposedly that is expected for a lot of us. :)

They are good but I think they taste mediciney. Try Premier Protein. The vanilla is really good. It is expensive too...
