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.

Hi! I live in Tampa and was banded on 12/15/08 by Dr. John Dietrick at University Community Hospital. He and his staff are wonderful and very helpful. Hope this info helps you. Good Luck!

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

I would recommend Dr. Aguila in south Tampa. He does surgery at Memorial Hospital and his office is across the street from the hospital.
