Orlando/Central Florida



Recommended Posts

Hi all - I'm new to this forum (and SOOO glad I found it!). I have done some research and think that lapbanding is the way to go for me. I have heard (mostly) good things about the center in Tampa, but am wondering if there is anyone who performs lapbanding/fills in Orlando... or closer than Tampa? Maybe Melbourne/Viera area?

Any advice you all can give will be greatly appreciated!

Hi - thanks for the reply. I have requested info from Dr. Fusco's office, and will try to get to the Seminar this week if there is room.

Guess i'll move this over to the Melbourne thread!

Brenda Kay...let's go through the list. are you exercising like you should? are you eating only what you can until you first feel full? that is so important... i had the same problem that you had one week, but when i got back on the right track. it came off like it was supposed to. if all else fails, just continue to do what you are supposed to and the weight will come off. maybe your body is still adjusting... good luck and keep the faith!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello all:

I live near Tampa but went to Colorado to Dr. Kirshenbaum. I am a self pay and his price was great.

We were banded only a few weeks apart. I just started eating what I consider solid foods this past week. (chicken, shrimp) Are you getting enough Protein? My doctor recommended 60 grams of Protein a day. He did not advocate a brand but suggested Protein shakes to supplement my diet to make sure I was getting enough protein.

Keep searching this forum, use the jump thread option at the bottom of the page on the home page for Lap Band Talk. You will find all of the topics there and can find everything from discussions on weight loss to diets, excercise and problems people face. You will find a wealth of information there.

I hang out in 'Considering Dr. Kirshenbaums' thread, April bandsters "Violets" and there is so much information in there I too feel so lucky to have found this website. The people are friendly and generous in their offer to help and share their experience.

I apologize. I didn't even look at the date you posted when I replied. I'm new here. So, who did you decide to go with for fills? I hear they are really expensive in the Orlando area.

Hi Melissa - I was wondering how your surgery went - glad it went okay. How was it? How are you feeling?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
