Florida Doctors: not many replies



Recommended Posts

Hi there,

I have begun the search for a lap band surgeon and noticed on the boards that not many replies are given about doctors in florida. I was wondering if floridians are going out of state or is there just not as many people here getting banded.

I live close to Jupiter florida with Dr, Jeffery Vaughn. If anyone has any advide or help referring doctors in South Florida I would greatly appricate it.

Our insurance doesn't cover it so I am going to have to find some kind of financing.< /strong>

Thanks in advance for your help,

Elly:smile:

I know of several, but none on your side of the state, unfortunately! If you're willing to head west, I'd be happy to give you a few names. My doc was Dr. Jose Erbella in Bradenton.

I don't know a lot about FL surgeons, but I do know that Dr. Gagner is in FL and he's quite well-known with an excellent reputation.

I live in the Bay area, which has some of the best bariatric surgeons in the world, and yet couldn't get a lot of info about doctors in my area. I think it reflects where people on the board live more than what's available, at least in my area. :)

      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.
