Has anyone been banded by Dr. Fernandez in Tampa FL??? If so..What did you think ? how was your experience? I'm asking because in my insurance provider book he is the only surgeon listed for the Tampa Bay area. Feedback is Greatly Appreciated!!! thank you!!

I'm just over the bridge in St. Pete My surgeon is Dr. Jessee Thought it might be nice to network and have friends in this. I'm Rae - missraefla on face book,

Hi, I can't provide feedback on that Dr and not sure what insurance you have but my surgeon is Dr. Aguila in Tampa and LOVE HIM! I think he accepts most insurance also. :-) Good luck!

I have Dr. W. Aguila. S Tampa. Memorial Hospt, he is the best but what is your insurance??. There are many in the area. sounds strange only one is listed??

I have Tricare and the only dr they would give me a referral to was to Dr, Fernadaz. I was told by a friend he is a gastric bypass dr only. I also heard that he wants the money upfront until your insurance pays them and then they pay you. So with this said I found a dr. in Bradenton, where I lived. He is great, great staff and I moved and I miss them. I called the insurance and told them I did not feel comfortable with Dr, Fernadez and they gave me a refferal for Dr, Bunch the same day and I was in the office the next week scheduling my surgery. Although there are several weight loss surgeons in the Tampa area I would be especially careful with him. Please.

I am gald you found a Dr you like, I am still not banded but I pray next week the ball will start rolling again. Dr Baum was so nice huh? he too said I was sane... fooled him lol- you live in Tampa? I was told as after banding will go recover in Spring Hill to make sure i stop and walk on the way there, for clots etc. I know Btown is a ways also,,, so just mentioning it.. let us know how you do

im on the other coast and love my surgeon and the hospital . Dr paul wizman in margate Florida and wellington. he has devoted his life to weight loss surgery and has done 1,000's of surgeries. hope this helps.
