[iluvpalmtrz 0]

If you know of anyone in the Orlando area please pass me the name/number to contact them. I am relocating this summer. I found a center in Ocala but won't take me as "you are a liability". another center in Celebration wants 1000.00 up front and subsequent visits are 150.00/dr and 75.00/nurse..thanks!! Michelle

Why would they concider you a liability?

Hey there, I am in SW Fl and I too tried to find a doctor out here to do my fills, after much searching and no finding, (some doctor in Clearwater wanted some outrageous (sp?) first time consult fee of $1000 and then $500-$750 per fill, but they said they couldn't take me as a patient because I was banded in Mexico. Well after much looking, I got lucky, really lucky and found Dr. Eddie Gomez, he recently moved his office from Coral GAbles to Miami. He takes patients banded in Mexico (which is my case) and didn't charge me any type of consult fee. He charged me $300 for my fill (without flouru) and if I want flouru its $600. I do mine without floru, and it is no problem. But he is really good, no need for flouru, my port is flipped and he still gets it on the first try, doesn't hurt one bit and if you decide you don't have enough of a fill or you have too much, he doesn't charge you extra to remove or add more if you contact them and let them know what is going on. This was my case and because I live 2 1/2 hours away I was unable to go back for two weeks and he still didn't charge me anymore. His assistants name is Emilio (really nice) so if you need to contact him here is his info. Oh and by the way, Dr. Gomez is super good looking, I am talking major hottie. It would be a 4-5 hr drive for you, but it might be worth it, to not have to take the time off to fly somewhere else. My surgeon doesn't charge me for fills, but I'd have to fly to Mx and take the time of work, so its way cheaper and less time to go to Dr. Gomez. And the drive is not bad at all.

hi Estela: I took your advice on Dr. Eddie Gomez, and I have my first fill appointment scheduled with him on Wednesday 6-8-05. I live in Central Florida, and I suspect it will be about a 4 hour drive. I had no trouble getting in with him at all, and received an appointment right away. I received my band in Mexico with dr ortiz (which I love) on 3-23-05, but i am happy not to have to travel so far for my fills now. I still may go back to mexico every once in a while to visit Dr. Ortiz. They all were so great out there, and I do not regret having my band at all. I will let you know how it goes.

By the way, i noticed that you had two fills quite close together, may i ask why, or what happened.

I'm glad that you will be getting a fill w/ Dr. Gomez, he is really nice. I hope all goes well with your fill, let me know how it goes. The reason I had another fill so quickly is that I felt no difference in restriction level and since Dr. Gomez doesn't charge you more $ if you don't get restriction, I thought I'd go ahead and have some more put in, and I did. I am in need of a fill again, I am scheduled for next month on July 6. Well let me know how it goes and don't you think Dr. Gomez is a cutie Pie??? I think he is fine..
