midband vs. lapband
allaboutmefl replied to anitak33's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
There are doctors in the US that will perform fills on the Midband. My surgeon from Mexico referred me to a doctor locally to do my fills. Fill center USA will not do fills on the Midband because it is not FDA approved yet. It's a great band. My band doctor has the Midband, so does my aunt and sister. Wonderful results and no complications. Good luck. -

I was losing slow to until this past week. The liquid calories, such as soup and snacking were adding on the calories. I keep track of my calories in a log book from "Calorie King". You can get it at the book store. They also have a great web site with the calories of everything.

The news report last night said they can now do the "arm lift" surgery with a scar half the size they use to. Now the scar starts in your armpit and goes down about four inches(about half way). The price is about $8,000. I'm sure it's cheaper in Mexico.

Last night on the news they were talking about a new skin tightening process that is used on people who have lost a lot of weight. This link shows before and after pics. I'm still trying to find the other link with pics also showing what they can do for bat wings. Dallas Thermage Plano Thermage Skin Tightening Body by Thermage Body Thermage Eye Thermage Dallas

Hey CC, I'm a slow loser also. I had my surgery two weeks before you and I've lost 25 pounds. Slow is fine. It does get frustrating but at least it's coming off.

Thanks for the info. I saw Dr. Gomez yesterday for a fill and was very impressed. I look forward to seeing him again. And yes.. he is quite a hottie. :biggrin1: -
Need a new doc in the Lauderdale area
allaboutmefl replied to Chris_NJ's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi Chris, Did you find a doctor in the area? I live in Ft. Lauderdale and am also looking for a local fill doctor. I was banded in Mexico in July with the Midband. I flew back to Mexico for my first fill but would like to stay in the area if possible for followup. The doctor told me about Dr. Gomez in Miami. I plan on calling him Monday. Fillcentersusa does not currently do fills on the Midband, but I heard the fillcenter in St. Pete does a great job on the other bands. Welcome to South Florida
