I had a fill doctor, Dr Jesse who recently increased her fills from $200 to $400. This will be my second fill w/o fluro. Has anyone found a reasonable fill doctor for the "Mexican" band in Florida??? Could you also share the cost? This seems to be the most challenging part of being banded!!!!

Me too - Jax, FL Is the fill centers in Gainesville open? Does anyone have any feedback on it? I need my first fill in a few weeks.

I will look that up and get back. Having had surgery in mexico, i have had to drive to tampa twice for fills. Any info of one in ne florida that is reasonable will be appreciated

HI, I had surgery done in monterray by Dr. Zapata. I have chose to follow up with Dr. Belfrey in Altamonte Springs (Orlando) as had another lady from jax whom had hers done the day after me. I like him very much. $500 initial visit including a fill, and $100 for each fill thereafter. And I will tell you that my first fill did the job amazingly well.

My doctor is in Jacksonville and I have referred a couple of mexican band patients to him for their fills. He charges $150.00 for fills. If interested, pm me and I will send you his information.

Hello My name is Scott B and my wife and I are in the process of opening a fill center in the Deltona area. I myself was recently banded in Mexico and found that is it very costly and non abundant in our area. Please PM us if you have any questions

Thanks

Scott

What qualification do you and your wife have? What are the fees?

Do you have his contact information? Do his fills include fluoroscopy?

I had my first fill three weeks ago in St Pete with Kathy Gonzales. She works through Fill Centers USA. She is absolutely amazing and does use flouro.

I will have no qualms about driving from Orlando to St Pete and taking a day off from work to get to Kathy.

I highly recommend her.

Yes...please I would love more info on Kathy Gonzales.

Thanks for your recommendation. I did end up driving from Tallahassee to St. Pete for my first fill with Kathy. She is truly amazing. I will continue to make the long trip (5 hours each way) for future fills...even if they open up a fill center near me. She is that good!

Hey i just moved to Dade county wanted to get more info on you Dr.. Dose he do Floro?

Hi! I'm needing a doctor in the panhandle to do my fills. Our military insurance runs out at the end of April (he got out in Oct., they give you 6 months) and needing to find someone for myself. I know about Dr. Lord and have talked tohis staff on the phone and wasn't impressed. I've been going on-post the last few months, and we just moved down here so I don't know anyone else in the area. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hmm after reading this thread it sounds like it would be cheaper for me to fly hmoe to Illinois for a fill than to establish care in Florida. I currently pay $130.00 and have had 6 fills. Why would I pay start up costs plus higher fill fees in Florida? Airfare is $400 round trip at the most. Usually less.
