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!!!

      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.
