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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
