Dr. Crooms in Tallahassee?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone been banded by Dr. Crooms in Tallahassee? If so, could you relate your experience? I'm scheduled for 9/20 and I'm a little nervous. I've heard that he's an excellent laparascopic surgeon, but I'm not sure of his history with this particular surgery.

:wink2::confused::smile: Please tell me...How has success has been for you since you used Dr. Crooms in Tallahassee? I am 35 years old, 5'7" tall and weigh 323 pounds and have 2 girls and live in Madison, FL... I was wanting to use Dr. Crooms but just don't know what kind of work he does... I surely hope your progress has been worth it... Please reply... Thanks and God Bless.:biggrin2::hurray::party::waytogo::tongue::success1::panda::panda::panda::tt1::scales::cool::thankyou::eek::thankyou::mad::patriot:

Kountrymommi,

Dr. Crooms did my surgery Dec 07. He is an excellent surgeon and I have been doing very well. After a couple of crappy days, I felt very well. Be sure to really look over this website. It has answered more questions that I even knew to ask. I particularly found helpful the list of things to get before surgery. I found that I didn't need to use everything, but I was prepared. Good luck.

I am very new to the lap band process. I have my first consultation appointment with Dr. Crooms in Tallahassee on September 16. Can someone tell me how long the whole process was. Also, my insurance doesn't cover the procedure. How much is the procedure with Dr. Crooms?

      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.
