Hello - Newbie from Tampa Here!!

I am scheduled to attend a seminar on May 3rd to learn about the lap band procedure and was wondering if anybody has used Dr. Grossbard to get the surgery? My insurance won't cover the surgery, but my wife's insurance will. So needless to say I am switching to her insurance next January and will hopefully soon be a bandster after that!!!!:clap2: :clap2:

I don't live in Flroida but I'm kind of an honorary, since my employer has a sister company there and I visit frequently. Can you switch before Jan, or is that when they have their open enrollment?

Yes, that is when her open enrollment is. My company has open enrollment in October, but hers isn't until January.

I have my first fill appt w/ Dr Grossbard in Zephyrhills on May 3rd. I moved from TN to FL right after my surgery March 20th!! He has had the surgery and I am told is very aware which is great!! :confused:

God Bless,

Hi Jukebox!

I live in Brooksville, just a few miles north of you. Dr. Grossbard did my son's surgery in 12/ 04 and he is down 135lbs. He did mine 1/27/06. I'm down 26 lbs, but I am 52 yrs old, so it's coming off slower. I still don't have a fill yet, Dr. G is happy at the rate that I am losing. You will really like him. If you have any questions, PM me.
