March 25, 200917 yr I work in Tampa but was self-pay. Sorry I can't suggest a surgeon but if you decide to not use insurance, I can refer you to a great self-pay surgeon. Go to www.lapband.com to search by city or start with your BCBS provider directory. Good Luck.

March 25, 200917 yr Terri, Hey! My name is Christine and I am an RN at TGH. I did alot of research and ask alot of nurses who had the band and finally I went with Dr. Grossbard his partner is Dr. DiCicco. They are not on staff at TGH but have surgical privileges there. The offices are in Tampa and Pasco. I went to a educational seminar and listened to Dr. Grossbard talk and it was great an open discussion forum with Q & A. Good Luck I was banded on the 19th
