Thanks for the reply! I see her bio on their website and she seems very qualified, thanks. Do you like the support syatem provided by TGH? I read somewhere that TGH requires a 6 month weight loss counseling prior to the surgery. Although your situation is different with previous Lap Band, do you have any insight on the wait? I really do not want to drag this on any further. I have used Nutritionists before, have lost weight several times, and now eat healthy. But although it was hard to maintain that loss, I am discovering that with old age it has become hard to even loose. I was hoping (maybe unrealistically?) to have surgery by November. Thanks again.

Just starting this journey after 66 years of being a yo-yo. I intend to get either the bypas or the sleeve (still educating myself). I have scheduled orientations at the two Bariatric Centers that I am interested in. I am wondering if anyone has had their surgery performed at either and if so, opinions. 1. TGH -USF Health Bariatric Center 2. Advent Health Bariatric Care Tampa? Thanks!
