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.

      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.
