Has anyone been banded by Dr. Crooms in Tallahassee? If so, could you relate your experience? I'm scheduled for 9/20 and I'm a little nervous. I've heard that he's an excellent laparascopic surgeon, but I'm not sure of his history with this particular surgery.

:wink2::confused::smile: Please tell me...How has success has been for you since you used Dr. Crooms in Tallahassee? I am 35 years old, 5'7" tall and weigh 323 pounds and have 2 girls and live in Madison, FL... I was wanting to use Dr. Crooms but just don't know what kind of work he does... I surely hope your progress has been worth it... Please reply... Thanks and God Bless.:biggrin2::hurray::party::waytogo::tongue::success1::panda::panda::panda::tt1::scales::cool::thankyou::eek::thankyou::mad::patriot:

Kountrymommi,

Dr. Crooms did my surgery Dec 07. He is an excellent surgeon and I have been doing very well. After a couple of crappy days, I felt very well. Be sure to really look over this website. It has answered more questions that I even knew to ask. I particularly found helpful the list of things to get before surgery. I found that I didn't need to use everything, but I was prepared. Good luck.

I am very new to the lap band process. I have my first consultation appointment with Dr. Crooms in Tallahassee on September 16. Can someone tell me how long the whole process was. Also, my insurance doesn't cover the procedure. How much is the procedure with Dr. Crooms?
