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.

      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.
