Type 2 Diabetes and lap band surgery
LoisinStA posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am seriously considering lap band surgery - I have type 2 diabetes that is not controlled and am heading for insulin. I have about 50 pounds to lose. There are studies that show that with that kind of weight loss, many diabetics go off of meds which is my goal. Anyone out there with diabetes? Also, I live in Jacksonville, FL. Anyone out there from Jax or St. Augustine? Lois -

Fill Doctors in the Orlando area
LoisinStA replied to txteachingirl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Where are u going in Mexico - I am going to Monterrey early April for my surgery. I found a dr in orlando who will do fills for patients who have surgery out of the country. He's in Altamonte Springs - Dr. Beltre. Here is a link to his website.... Gastric Bypass and Bariatric Surgery. Altamonte Springs, FL -
I work on Old St. Augustine Road at the other end...in the new strip center at Phillips Hwy. I am new to the group - planning to have my surgery in Mexico on April 7th. My insurance won't cover a penny even though I am diabetic and this procedure can dramatically help with that.

Did you find one...I am planning on going to Mexico in April. What doctor did you use in Mexico. -
I am in St. Augustine...seriously considering surgery in Mexico in April. My insurance won't cover it even though I am diabetic and the new studies show incredible results for diabetics with this surgery. I am concerned about where to go for fills - most US doctors won't work with someone who had surgery out of the country. I think there is a place in Ocala and one in Moultrie, Ga that I can use. I am scared but very excited.
