Not for me! But I am looking for a good fill Dr in the Orlando area. Anyone but Dr. Beltre in Altamonte Springs! I have Medicare now due to a disability and my former Dr. does not take it anymore. I thank you in advance on any help that may come my way!:)

Try checking www.lapband.com for a list of local surgeons. Call until you find one, I know there are several great surgeons there, as we have several very happy bandsters here from those areas. Look in the Florida page for local members. ~Mandy

I live in Casselberry and will be going to Fill Centers USA in Tampa to get my fills. You might want to also check with Keith Kim's office in Celebration for fills.

I live in Longwood and use Dr. Beltre. I notice you said anyone BUT Dr. Beltre...have you used him before? Problems?

I have been using him for quite awhile now and I like him very much. But, I'm curious as to why you don't want to have him do your fills.

Ginger,

Dr. Beltre didn't have any problems providing you with fills even though you had your surgery in Mexico? If so, that is great news. I would rather not have to drive all the way to Tampa to get mine!

Would you mind telling me how much he charges and whether they do it under fluroscopy? Thanks for your help!

Congrats on your success!

Sara...Dr. Beltre was happy to do my follow up care, even though I had my surgery in Mexico!!! He does not do fills under fluoro, but he is pretty good at doing them without.

You should probably call his office just to verify that his rates haven't changed, but I believe he charges $500.00 initial visit (includes fill) and then $100.00 for every fill thereafter.

His office is VERY busy..so be prepared to wait for a while when you get there (I'm never there more than an hour though).

I like him very much. He is kind, gentle and will take the time to talk to you...not in a hurry like most doctors, to get you in and out.

The best part is that his is less than one mile from my office...beats Tampa or Celebration anyday.

Good luck

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
