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!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
