Surgeon Testimonial

Richard DiCicco, M.D.
I had gone to Dr. Grossbards seminar as well as Dr. DiCicco's seminar and love them both. Dr. DiCicco is very nice, down to business and extremely busy. I felt confident that he takes his job very seriously and does not leave room for error. The one bad thing is he is only at his Tampa office on Mondays and his other office is in Zephyrhills which is quite a drive for me. I wish he had more days in the Tampa office but I will deal with it.rnrnEveryone in his office has been wonderful. Barbara put up with me and all my questions before hand and Erica puts up with all my questions now. The girls that answer the phones are always so pleasant.

Cope for hope
posted on 12/12/07 11:04 am
Well stage one is on, my wonderful husband is helping me get going and trying to get the Lap Band surgery approved with our insurance. I need to do this for myself and my family. I have a heart condition and my weight just makes it that much worse. If i ever want to have another child I HAVE to get this weight off or I will not survive another pregnancy. It really is not fair that my hubby and son have to suffer for my weight issues, I have to do something. I just have to hope and pray I get approval and can move forward.
