Looking for Fill Drs in Central Florida



Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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.

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...

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
