If you're willing to go to St Petersburg which is just south of Tampa there is Dr. Ernest Rehnke.

He is affiliated with Palms of Pasadena Hospital which is a center for baristric surgical excellence.

Oh point of information, I do not live in Tampa, I live in Titusville on the East coast. It's about a 2 1/2 hr drive without traffic. I researched everywhere went to several seminars and met several doctors. I met Dr. Rehnke and was able to develop a relationship with him. I could talk to him, he's very warm and not clinical, so I don't mind traveling. He also does all his patients fills and does not leave it to the nurse practitioner or his physicians assistant. He is training a PA right now but Dr Rehnke still does all his patients fills.

My doctor is Grossbard. I go to a location in Zeyphrhills, Fl. But, he has several places and affiliations in the Tampa/Orlando area.

Dr. Grossbard's colleagues, Dr. Aguila and Dr. Dicicco are in Tampa. I go to Dr. Aguila and he's wonderful, the whole office is wonderful as a matter of fact. Their office is across from Memorial Hospital in south Tampa. Welcome to Tampa!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
