Anyone banded by Dr. Tiffany Jessee-Tampa bay area



Recommended Posts

Just wondering...have any of you been banded by Dr. Tiffany Jessee in the Tampa, FL area? My husband and I went to her seminar and were pretty impressed with her. Just curious if anyone has any input on Dr. Jessee and her staff.

Your input would be greatly appreciated!!

I also went to her seminar but I chose her specifically because about 7 women at my job have all either gotten banded with her or after getting banded with a different doctor, LEFT their doctor to go to her. All I hear are fantastic things about her from the way she cares before, during, and after (as long as you need after as a mater of fact). Those who did not go to her said they had complications or were having trouble losing weight with their other doctor. They changed to her practice and she made some adjustments, some recommendations, and now no more complications - and they are ALL losing much better than they were before. I hear she is very determined and agressive at seeing success with her patients but always puts safety first. I made my choice on doctor....now im just waiting on insurance. (Her team is keeping me well informed every step of the way) :o)

I had my surgery with Dr. Jessee on June 30, 2010! You cannot go wrong with Dr. Jessee and her staff.

They have been wonderful!

I was baned by Dr. REhnke, but him and Dr. Jessee do alot of work together. If you go online to either Dr Rehnke or Dr Jessee sight you will be able to see each of them perform a lap band surgery on line. My primary care Dr. Suggested Dr. Jessee because his son had interned under her, but I staryed with Dr. Renhke because I had already been to one of his seminars.. He is really tight with Palms of Pasadena Hospital, in fact when I was in the hospital for my lapband surgery on 4-12-11 they told me he pretty much runs that section of the hospital. I have heard nothing but good about him. Good luck in making your final decision and beginning your journey, you won't be sorry.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
