Hey Melisa. Good Luck with your process.. I am very excited about this transition and journey. I can not wait to get my cardiac clearance and then I meet with the dietician. I am blessed to have an insurance that does give difficulties in approving the surgery. I wish you the best of luck and hope all goes well for you.. Heres hoping for a surgery in the next month for you :thumbup: and one in OCT for me

Dr. Dietrick is also my Doctor.. I have my cardiac clearance on the 19th I could not find a doctor to get me in sooner then I meet with the dietician on the 26th.. Good Luck on your surgery.. You are going to do WONDERFUL...

Okie dokie.. Maybe sooner.. we will talk about :crying: GO TO BED... I am on my to sleep :ohmy:..

Butch, I am just starting the steps to banding.. CONGRATS on an amazing weight loss.. I work at University Community Hospital in Tampa and am seeing our weight loss doctor there. His name is Dr. John Dietrick. Just call 813 971 6000 ask for the weight loss surgery center .. See if they have information they can provide you. He is an amazing doctor and his staff is very friendly. I am sure they would be able to help you out in one way or another. Maybe even suggest a doctor closer to you if you are unsure about driving to Tampa.. Good LUCK !!
