Anyone on the gulf coast ?

Is there anyone on the Gulf Coast of Florida been banded? I am curious to see which doctor they used.
Has anyone heard of Dr. Michael Caluda? I just received my refferal in the mail, but I do not know of this doctor and this is who they want me to see. I was originaly told Dr. Nye, in Pensacola (Whom I did research and was feeling good about), now I feel uneasy. :cry I did a search on him and found very little. His surgical clinic has a site but theres not a lot there either..

Any thoughts?

Hi Sissy,

I live in Polk county. I am not banded, yet. But I have a consult with Dr. Rehnke in St. Pete next month. I have done a lot of research and from what I heard he is awesome. I went to his Orientation and he is very personable.

Check him out. http://www.obesitynomorefl.com

Good luck. And keep in touch.

Take care,
Rosanna

Unfortunatly, with my "insurance" I don't have a lot of options regarding which doc I see. Or I would be flying somewhere else to do this. I'm kind of at the mercy of "the man" LOL.
