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

Is this open yet??

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!

      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.
