Dr. Gonzales



Recommended Posts

Just as an FYI - for anyone who uses him... Dr. Gonzales is not doing in office fills any more. Everyone has to be scheduled under flouroscopy at the hospital.

I got my fill r/s! I was looking forward to it. Goodness knows I need it.

No kidding! Really?! Did he/his office say "Why"? Ah, geez, there goes the price. That more than doubles it! Crapola. Bad news for me. Do you know the price of flouro fills?

Hey, what's r/s?

Dr Gonzales in Winston Salem. Phone number is (336) 784-8299.

Hospital fee is $408, I think, and Dr G charges $325. That's $733 for a flouro fill. Wow! If your port is easy to hit, he may be able to do a non-flouro office fill after your first one. Dr G has no problem seeing someone banded from MX (if that's where you were banded) so it's nice to have a local doc. Be prepared to pay, but it might be less expensive than the flight back to MX. Good luck! Let us know how it goes.

Wow, a "long time" bandster! Good job! How's your weight loss been? Any advice for success? Having any trouble? Except for needing a fill, that is. Give us the sccop! Most bandsters from 2001 are out and about and we don't hear much from that "class". I'd love to hear how you have done...I'm going to go look you up! But if nothing's there...well, fill us in!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
