Anyone have a recommended doctor in the Tampa area? I seem to be running into problems trying to find one (a well rated doc) that isn't over in the St Pete area. I'm in the very beginning/research stage of things! ☺️

I have Dr. Ache (and Dr. Jessee) w/ Suncoast bariatrics. Yes they are in St. Pete but just right off 275 & ulmerton. Pretty close to Tampa ;).

Try Dr. Lee Grossbard. He is well known and has been doing weight control surgeries for many years. He along with several in his office have the lap-band so they are walking proof of positive results. I am scheduled for surgery with him on 6/27 and so far I have been very please with his knowledge, information and experience.

Good luck

I also am with Suncoast Bariatrics and I cannot express how satisfied I am with them. They are fully involved with the whole process and provide everything you will need to be successful.

Dr. Tiffany Jessee at Suncoast Bariatrics is the best. She's located right off of 275 at Ulmerton. My husband and i both got lap bands from her.

I am having my surgery in Sarasota on October 29th. That is only 45 minutes/1 hour from Tampa. The Sarasota Memorial Comprehensive Bariatric Program is amazing. My surgeon is Dr. Nora. The entire group at the program has been so supportive.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
