Need a fill doctor in Florida



Recommended Posts

Hmm after reading this thread it sounds like it would be cheaper for me to fly hmoe to Illinois for a fill than to establish care in Florida. I currently pay $130.00 and have had 6 fills. Why would I pay start up costs plus higher fill fees in Florida? Airfare is $400 round trip at the most. Usually less.

DR LARSON _ LAKE WORTH $285 per fill

I recently went to Dr. Larson in Lake Worth. He takes patients banded in Mexico but does require a surgery report.

Numbed the area first before the fill, didn't fill too tight. Very nice office and staff. I would recommend him it was a good experience. :thumbdown:

Has anyone had a fill with the the new Fill Center Location in Deland FL? I was told there is no fluro. Just curious if anyone has used this provider? I have been using the ST. Pete location, but it's 2h 45m away. The Deland location is like 15 min!

I live in Tampa and I'm having my LAP-BAND® surgery Nov 27. I have been checking out the cost of fills locally and it appears its cheaper to fly back to San Diego (Tijuana) and get my free fills from Dr Gonzalez, then to pay all these program fees and additional fill costs.

I ended up going to Dr Murr at Tampa General. They are wonderful Drs. and nurses, the procedure doesn't hurt and best of all, all it costs is my Insurance co-payment!!:thumbup:

Yeah another Dr. Murr patient.. I also live in Tampa, and I only pay my co-pay for fills which is $40.00. Dr. Murr did my surgery and his staff is great. I actually get numb for my fills it's a little uncomfortable at times because where my port is located, but I survive.

He's at the USF Center at Tampa General Hospital. Hope everything works out for you.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
