Info On Dr's in S.Florida



Recommended Posts

I made some calls and found a couple of Dr's who except MX banders.

Dr.Robert Marema 954-351-7770 Ft.Lauderdale

$17,000, in US includeds surgery and hospital.

You will need to bring all your info from MX(surgery transcript?) and fill out their paper work. 20 page history info. And a fee of $995.00 which covers nutrition, other little stuff and time with Dr. You will have to call and speak with someone from finacial dept. to find out about fills. I spoke to Joanna, she was very nice.

Dr.Thomas Bass (954)966-8559 Hollywood

17,000 for surgery and hospital. 1 year of fills and Dr.visits included. They usaully only use flouroscopy the first time. They except MX banders and fills are 250.00, plus you have to bring in ALL your info from MX, transcirpts tranlated to english and whatever eles. They are also putting together a package deal for MX banders, about $2,000-$3000, that includs fills and follow up care with Dr. for one year. This package is still in it's infant stage so $$ isn't written in stone yet. The woman I talked to,Tiffany, was so nice and honest.

Dr.Wizman, is 21,000 and this price DOES NOT INCLUDE FILLS.

The woman I spoke to was very tight lipped w/ info. I don't like that.

Iamed is now doing financing, this is new to me, 1-877-LAPBAND.

I hpe this will help someone and good luck. Let me know if you need more info.

Dr. Eddie Gomez in Coral Gables, Florida 305-669-2388, he didn't charge an office visit or any extra fees. The fill w/out flouru is $300 w/ flour $600. I did it w/out and it was perfect, no problems. The doctor was very nice and very good looking. (Emilio is his assistants name, if you call, hit #5 and it will connect you to Emilio). I had a really good experience with Dr. Gomez on Tues. 3/1/05.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
