| Desperate Need of Fill Doctor in FLORIDA
Hello.
About 3 months ago I had my Lap Band put in by a Dr. in Michigan and he did one fill. Recently I've moved to south Florida and I'm in desperate need to find a fill doctor in Florida. I didn't think it would be hard but all of the FL doctors that I found thru realizeband.com did not take any followup patients. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A DOCTOR IN FLORIDA THAT COULD HELP ME?? I'm willing travel a few hours if needed. Let me know.
thanks for your help. |

Are these doctors who will do fills for Mexico banded patients as well. I am particularly interested in St. Augustine...I am currently traveling to Altamonte Springs for fills (1 1/2 hours).

Those are all doctors that Mexican banded people have been to for fills and they added them to a data base.

I emailed the doctor in St. Augustine and they do NOT work with folks who have been banded out of the country.

| Warning!!!
I just have been "fired" as a patient, after questioning why after 1200, and 2 years later, I have had no weight loss, and after going to get a barium swallow. Dr. Abbas Shariat in Jacksonville, fl, is a scam artist!!!!!! He has actually put only 0.5 ml in my band!!!!! and I was wondering why I could eat a whole cow, LOL. He will charge 800 for initial visit, and 400 after that!!!!!!! And he will not use flouro, his office staff are rude, and liars!!!! I asked for my medical record and was told they don't do that!!!!!!! Please do not use this doctor, I am so upset, I am a nurse myself, and I knew that there was no restriction, i was literally starving myself, the depression over feeling , wow after all this money, time, and still no weight loss, I wasn't gaining, due to the fact I had learned to literally starve myself, and Dr Shariat kept telling me I wasn't doing it right, all I was eating was chicken, tuna, etc., and I was starving all the time!!!!! Well any hints on a respectable doctor, here in NE Fl, I am going to go back to Dr Kuri in Mexico, if I have too. |

I have been going to Altamonte Springs, FL ( just outside Orlando) to Dr. Beltre - he is wonderful. I have also sent other folks there who also love him - we have all been banded in Mexico. I am going back to him on Tuesday - for my third fill. He is knoweldgeable, personable and easy to get in to see. It takes 1 1/2 hours to get there from St. Augustine. If you want any additional info about him, feel free to PM me and I will share whatever I know. I highly recommend him.
