Hello all, as I have indicated in my title, I have moved to Florida. Tampa to be exact. My problem is that I cant seem to find me a doctor here. I have researched on here and everything that I am finding is about a year old. I had an unfill on August 27th (with my doc in Texas) due to vomiting constantly! Now I havent lost a thing in 5 weeks! This is so frustrating. I am 15 pounds to my goal. I am depressed and yes I am eating evertime my HEAD says I am hungry.

Anyway, I digress, if anyone knows of a good fill doctor in or around Tampa please let me know. I dont mind having to drive a little. And any encouragement would be appreciated as well! I was banded in April of this year and have lost forty pounds so far.

Thanks to all,

Deanna :biggrin:

I completely agree with the DaChangingQueen. Dr Tiffany Jessee takes really great care of patients. I will be one of 8 people at my job who either started and stayed with her... or switched from their other doctors to go to her. She would be my suggestion for you. I hear nothing but fantastic things about her and her team. Good luck!

OMG! Kathy in St petersburg is absolutely amazing! I dont live in Fla but I have used her.

I dont know what Dr Jessee charges but Kathies fluoroscopy is free and she is absolutely the best fill Doc I have ever used. She has done fills for many years and knows what she is talking about. Nice facility and staff is super also. You have to schedule through Fill Centers and once you are part of their network you can use any provider and all of your information is available no matter where you go. I travel and have used several Fill Centers providers and Kathy is the best. Oh, the number is: 866 345 5872. Hope you like her as much as I do.

Hey!!!

We have a lot in common. I moved here 1.5 years ago from Kansas City. (To Tampa!...Tarpon Springs to be exact.) Anyway, I had to find a fill doctor too. I went through Fill Centers. Her name is Kathy, you can find her through the fill centers usa website. She is great. I really like her. I too was concerned about finding someone other than my own surgeon, but I've been very happy. She is caring and seems to really know her stuff. Good luck to you.

I hope you like it here in Tampa, I haven't adjusted too well, miss my home. :(

Oh my, I just replied to a two year old post!!!! i'm sure you have found a doctor by now!!!

      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.
