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!

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
