I recently had my gastric sleeve done by Dr. Elizabeth A. Dovec, and my experience has been absolutely amazing! I was a self-pay patient (around $12,000), and the process was so smooth—no long wait times and only three days of pre-op requirements. Dr. Dovec goes above and beyond for her patients, and the support she provides is incredible. There’s even a Facebook group where patients can connect and encourage one another. In just three months, I’ve already lost 56 pounds. Recovery wasn’t always easy, but it was manageable, and I followed the recommended stages: 1 week liquids, 1 week purée, 1 week soft, then transitioning to solids. It’s truly been the best decision I’ve ever made. There may be moments of doubt, but as you learn your body, understand fullness, and adjust to new eating habits—it gets so much better. I’m beyond grateful for Dr. Dovec and her team!

Dr. Dovec in Orlando is absolutely wonderful! She’s so kind, understanding, and truly sympathetic to her patients. I had my gastric bypass on January 5th, and I already feel amazing. I’m so grateful for her care and support.
