debee 47 Posted July 3, 2013 That is not too far....I know there is a large bariatric community in Tampa. Find a good surgeon and listen to all of your optons... I wish I would have done this at a much earlier age. Take control now if you can. I will help in anyway I can. 1 mrs.jones0112 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dawalsh 919 Posted July 14, 2013 I need some support my pcp is not listning to me I hear you. My doctor feels I'm not losing fast enough. I have lost 55 lbs since Dec. my pre-op diet was on Dec 14th and my surgery date was 12/28/12. I am thrilled with the loss but I don't think my PCP has any concept of how the Lapband works. He feels I should have lost 90 lbs by now. I feel slow and steady wins the race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
