HI, I had surgery done in monterray by Dr. Zapata. I have chose to follow up with Dr. Belfrey in Altamonte Springs (Orlando) as had another lady from jax whom had hers done the day after me. I like him very much. $500 initial visit including a fill, and $100 for each fill thereafter. And I will tell you that my first fill did the job amazingly well.

I had a fill doctor, Dr Jesse who recently increased her fills from $200 to $400. This will be my second fill w/o fluro. Has anyone found a reasonable fill doctor for the "Mexican" band in Florida??? Could you also share the cost? This seems to be the most challenging part of being banded!!!!

My doctor is in Jacksonville and I have referred a couple of mexican band patients to him for their fills. He charges $150.00 for fills. If interested, pm me and I will send you his information.

Hello My name is Scott B and my wife and I are in the process of opening a fill center in the Deltona area. I myself was recently banded in Mexico and found that is it very costly and non abundant in our area. Please PM us if you have any questions

Thanks

Scott

Do you have his contact information? Do his fills include fluoroscopy?

I had my first fill three weeks ago in St Pete with Kathy Gonzales. She works through Fill Centers USA. She is absolutely amazing and does use flouro.

I will have no qualms about driving from Orlando to St Pete and taking a day off from work to get to Kathy.

I highly recommend her.

Thanks for your recommendation. I did end up driving from Tallahassee to St. Pete for my first fill with Kathy. She is truly amazing. I will continue to make the long trip (5 hours each way) for future fills...even if they open up a fill center near me. She is that good!

Hi! I'm needing a doctor in the panhandle to do my fills. Our military insurance runs out at the end of April (he got out in Oct., they give you 6 months) and needing to find someone for myself. I know about Dr. Lord and have talked tohis staff on the phone and wasn't impressed. I've been going on-post the last few months, and we just moved down here so I don't know anyone else in the area. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
