Fill Doctor -South Florida



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I am almost 4 week post-op & need a good fill doctor. I can travel from Miami to Plam Beach Or in Ocala if the doctor is real good. I would like to know names of doctors used & prices if known. Any advice may help.

Thanks,

Sally

Hi, Sally,

I live in Miami and had my surgery done here, as well as all of my follow ups for fills. I know another girl on this site who was also banded in Mexico and she comes here from La Belle to have her fills with my doctor. He is really good, and he only charges $300.00 per fill, that's considered cheap in this area as I understand other doctors can charge upwards of $1,000.00.

Here's the information:

Dr. Eddie Gomez

305-285-5090

3661 South Miami Avenue

Suite 301

Miami, FL 33133

He is located in the professional building next to Mercy Hospital in Coconut Grove.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any more questions and I'll try to help.

Cindy, is this the doctor where Emilio works? I remember making an appointment with him before Hurricane Katrina but with all the confusion afterwards and their move, I ended up not going. Are they aggresive in the fills in that they give you a very good fill? Or do they only do small increments to get you to continually come in? Also, they do it without flouro right? I'm concerned about them puncturing the tubes or not finding the port and it being very painful. I'm sorry about so many questions, but I'm overdue for a fill and I initially wanted to go back to Mexico but it's out of the questions with the prices of airline tickets.

      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.
