Hi there - anyone out there from this area? I was going to have the VGS done in Tampa, but was disappointed in the staff at Dr. Murr's office in Tampa. I'm scheduled for May 1st with Dr. Shillingford in Boca Raton. I've been down there to meet with him and visited the hospital - very impressed with the level of care and their attentiveness. However, it would be nice to have a nearby support group!

Have you considered Dr. Tiffany Jessee at Suncoast Bariatrics (Tampa Area)? She is a wonderful doctor and her office staff is amazing! You can see her post-op with any questions, not just her nurse.

I live in Lakeland and am using Dr. Murr.

I'm from Lakeland and had my surgery in 2005. Is there a support group local?

[skc72 138]

@@breeze59 not that I have found..

Perhaps we should start a Lakeland area group? I'm game, what do the others think?

[skc72 138]

All for it!

Lakeland needs one. Maybe the local surgeons would recommend the group so it could grow. I need support.....

I am all in and always available to chat. :-)

I live in South Lakeland and have a pretty open schedule. Let's pick a day, time and location and meet! It will be fun and helpful for all of us!

I live in South Lakeland too! I have one more week of work before I'm off for the rest of summer. Mon, Wed, and Fridays work best for me in the evenings.

Where would be a good place to meet??

Perhaps a coffee place...how about Mitchell's downtown?
