Anyone have a recommended doctor in the Tampa area? I seem to be running into problems trying to find one (a well rated doc) that isn't over in the St Pete area. I'm in the very beginning/research stage of things! ☺️

I have Dr. Ache (and Dr. Jessee) w/ Suncoast bariatrics. Yes they are in St. Pete but just right off 275 & ulmerton. Pretty close to Tampa ;).

Try Dr. Lee Grossbard. He is well known and has been doing weight control surgeries for many years. He along with several in his office have the lap-band so they are walking proof of positive results. I am scheduled for surgery with him on 6/27 and so far I have been very please with his knowledge, information and experience.

Good luck

I also am with Suncoast Bariatrics and I cannot express how satisfied I am with them. They are fully involved with the whole process and provide everything you will need to be successful.

Dr. Tiffany Jessee at Suncoast Bariatrics is the best. She's located right off of 275 at Ulmerton. My husband and i both got lap bands from her.

I am having my surgery in Sarasota on October 29th. That is only 45 minutes/1 hour from Tampa. The Sarasota Memorial Comprehensive Bariatric Program is amazing. My surgeon is Dr. Nora. The entire group at the program has been so supportive.

I had Dr. Ache and Dr. Jesse and I would have traveled to the ends of the earth for them... I live in Tampa and these doctors are just phenomenal..... I did my research for a year!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
