Hello All, I really need your help. I had surgery with an incredible doctor. Dr. Miguel Silva in New York 4/05. I had my first and only fill 3/06. It's coming up on 2008 and I since moved to the Central Florida area. Although Dr. Silva was absolutely fantastic, I don't want to travel back to NYC for a fill. Any suggestions? Anyone reputable in the Central Florida area?

Any luck finding a Dr to do bands they didn't do in CF? I live on the east coast and would rather not travel to St Pete.......who did you find and what is the cost? thanks, PB

I think there is a Lap band doc at Florida hospital at the Celebration location. Are you in the Orlando area?

I am over in Melbourne--not sure if my doc here does fills for other patients or not but I know that he is even listed on the Lap band site.... Depending on where you live it might be a shorter drive over here than St Pete.

I live in Melb, and Fusco doesn't do "Mexican bands", actually USA fills is the only place I've found and don't want to do the drive. I haven't had the surgery yet, looking to get it done in march, but wanted to line something up before hand, St Pete will be my last resort..I'll keep plugging away, thanks for the response...PD

From the seminar, I recall my doctor discussing working with patients who were banded by other doctors. Though I think it was mainly for corrections or revisions, it is possible that he may do so for fills too. He is part of Bradenton Surgical Group - Dr. Jose Erbella and Dr. Gary Bunch. West of central FL of course, but another possible option to check.

thanks! PBDove

PBdove,

I have my fills done by Dr. Velarde. He is an Omni Doc with an office in Palm Bay. I don't know if he will do them for bands done out of the country. But, I would check, because it is much closer that St. Pete. Also, you can check into Dr. Domkowski, he did my surgery and has just moved his office to Sebastian. I think he will do fill's for bands done by other doctors. You can PM me if you want phone numbers...

Hope this is of some help...good luck.

What is PM? Private message? How do you do that? PBD

I spoke with Dr. Domkowski today, he is in Sebastain, Indian River County, and he said that he does do fills for pt's that were banded in Mexico. Just call and set up the appointment... 772-581-8003

Hope this helps...
