| Need a fill doctor in Florida
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!!!! |

City: Currently Sevierville, TN but moving to Orange City, FL April 1st State: TN but moving to FL | I go to Zephyrhills, FL w/ DR. Grossbard....they charged me $200/fill.....I was not filled in MExico....but in TN. It was a challenge to find someone it seemed!!!!
There is also Dr. Kim in Orlando w/ FL HOsp but he charges $995 to "join" and that does include one fill.....then I was told $200/fill.
Dr Jawad in Ocala will not take you if you've been banded by anyone else.
God Bless,
Melody

| Thanks to all of you for the referrals...I think I will be able to google those that didn't have a link. At least the cost seems to be in the line of what I was quoted from Dr Jesse's office in the beginning. I just can't see paying double when there are good doctors charging reasonable fees. | |

Fill Centers, USA gives their prices on the site.
The Cleveland Clinic takes insurance, but I don't know about Fill Centers. | |

She said to give her my insurance company name and that she would call them. I elected to go online and check my insurance company's "In-Network Providers" list. You are right. They were not on it.

City: Panama City State: FL | Hi Judi,
I'm not banded yet, so haven't been there. The doc is Dr. Jeffery Lord in Pensacola, fl. First fill is 350, it includes a consultation. After that 250 (at least that's how I remember it) each time. The nurse I spoke to said they use fluoro each time. I looked him up at the american society of bariatric surgeons, you can find his number there.
