Fill Doctors in Florida?



Recommended Posts

I read your post JC and made an appointment with Kathy Gonzales is at Millennium Medical in St. Petersburg and I agree with you that she is great. I also liked the fill centers price of $299 with floro. I had it previous with Dr, Jesse and with floro it came to $750, plus with fill center it will be even cheaper the next time $155 for fill and $75 for floro.. Kathy seemed so caring and took that extra time with you that shows that she cares, Awesome fill...

I just moved to Vero Beach and need to find a place or dr to do my fills. I was banded by Dr Ortiz in Mexico. Does anyone out there know of a place I can go?

I used to use Dr. Overcash in Ocala, FL. No idea if he's still doing fills for Mexican Bandsters as it's been almost 4 years.

I could not recommend anyone more highly than Kathy Gonzales at Millennium Medical in St. Petersburg. She is with fill centers usa. In my opinion when it comes to fills she is on the same level as the fill Dr.s at the Obesity Control Center and It's a heck of alot closer than Tijuana .

She asked who did my band surgery; when I told her Dr. Ortiz she said oh good he does great work. She really seems to care about her patients.

Have you gotten in touch with your surgeon in mMexico and asked him for a referral? I think that is a good place to start. I live in Jacksonville, but the Dr. I go to is a friend of Grossbard so my guess is that he wouldn't fill either. His practice is so busy there probably isn't time for someone he hasn't banded

Hello, I was banded in FEB 07 in TJ Mexico and go to South Mississippi Weigh Loss Surgerons for fills. I would love to go to a fill dr closer and join a support group. Contact me anytime. Joyfulnan@comcast.net

I just got banded and am still looking for a fill doctor on the east coast of Florida--around Jacksonville or even south Georgia. Dr. Shariat in Jax Beach was on the list from Dr. Zapata but only because he accepts Mexico patients. He is very expensive and no flouro. I presented the idea to be Gyn but no reply. why is this so difficult? It seems to me to be a great capitalist venture. What is the darn hangup in the US with health care?

I would absolutely love to find a Dr. in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area that does fills under fluoro at a reasonable cost.

There are a few Dr.'s who will do fills on patients other than their own that I know of, but their prices are ridiculous -- $800 - $1,000. It's not worth it to me to pay that because I can fly to other places, and have it done much cheaper than that and the savings will more than cover my travel expenses. That said, it sure would be nice to find someone to work with in South Florida.

I consider "reasonable" to be $200 - $300 for fills with fluoro.

If anyone has any info, let me know!

      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.
