Her is an update on the fill center opening in Orlando. Robin, I spoke with fill centers today. I am excited to say that I believe we will be up and going before the end of the month if not sooner. I did clarify the cost to you the patient. The first visit will be $299 which will include your lifetime membership fee, your online resources, your visit, lifestyle guide, and nationwide help in case of you moving or traveling. The follow up visits will be $50.00 for a visit and $155 if you need an adjustment and a visit. These will be paid by check or creditcard at the office. This is a great service and will be able to help with issues that all of us as bandsters have. I look forward to meeting you soon. My office hours are now posted as Monday and Wed evenings 6-9pm and Saturdays 10-1pm. If you need to call please call 352-613-4128, if you do not get someone I will get back to you within 24 hours. Hope this information helps. Pass it along if you need to it is the most accurate that I have right now. Sabrina Freeman ARNP

All I can say is "WOW". What a transformation. Truly inspirational to me. Enjoy your anniversary and good luck with the baby's surgery.

I'm Doing ok except for my kids stressing me out and everytime I get stressed i'm at the throne pbing. nothing stays down when i'm stressed and with my 12 year old who has autism and my almost 3 year old there is always a lot of stress. Having a hard time with head hunger and not sure how to get past it. Also trying not to eat after 7pm. I just keep feeling like i'm going to fail again even with the band and i'm trying very hard to get out of this mind frame. Take care everyone. Robin

I'm sitting hear choking on a pretzel while reading your post, your friggin hysterical. Count me in. What a great idea.

Hey Delarla, I did Pleasure Company parties for awhile. Is it the same as what you do. It was a lot of fun. I'm thinking about getting into it again it would help with airfare expenses for fills that's for sure. Robin

Hey everyone, Me and a friend of mine were both banded by Dr.Ortiz and I had my first fill with Dr. Martinez and it was excellent but I'm going to be due for my 2nd fill soon and really want to find someone in Florida. I'll drive 5 hrs or whatever to avoid flying to Mexico again. Please email with any information any of you may have it would really be appreciated. Robin2463@aol.com

Hey Terrilen, Dr. Grossbard will not do fills for Mexican patients. I wish he would though.

Hey Terrilen, I'm in Wesley Chapel about an hour from Orlando. The bash is at the HardRock Hotel on October 1st in Tampa. It's starts at 10am and goes till 10pm. It's like $75.00 I believe. I'm probably going to go. Email me if you Want Robin2463@aol.com

That water is sooooooo good i've been buying it by the case. The rasberry is also yummy as well. I found i've been drinking about 6 to 8 bottle a day.

Hey Gigglegirl we're practically neigbors i'm in Wesley Chapel in Meadow Pointe. I was banded on June 24th by Mr. Hottie himself Dr. Ortiz. Just had my first fill a few weeks ago. Email me if you ever want to chat. Robin2463@aol.com

Just got back from my first fill in TJ and got 2.2cc and hope to now start seeing a difference. Dr. Martinez was wonderful and so patient with me. I drove that poor man nuts. Start solids tomorrow, wish me luck.

That sounds good to me..lol DITTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone, I'm Robin from Wesley Chapel/ New Tampa area and was banded just a month ago with Dr. Ortiz. Going back for my first fill August 12th and man do I need it. I have no restriction at all right now. Hope not to put back on the 20 pounds I lost on liquids but find evenings are very hard once the kids are in bed. Anyway hoping to meet some new friends for support. Email me at Robin2463@aol.com. Take care everyone.

Hi everyone I was told that Dr. Grossbard will not do fills for Ortiz any longer it was a choice that both doctors made. From what I have heard the trip back to TJ for the fills is well worth it since Martinez is supposed to be the best as far as fills go. I have spoken to a lot of people who have had fills locally only to have to fly back to TJ because something was not right. I'm sure there are good doctors and I have called several and they charge a fortune for fills especially if done under flouro. I will be going for my first fill on the 12th of August and hope it does the trick, have no restriction at all right now so can't wait to get back. Take care everyone.
