| I just recently switched from Suncoast in Largo Florida to Bariatrics of Orlando located in Celebration. The reason is that Dr. Jessee doubled her fees from $200 for an in office fill to $400. I live in Celebration, and at the time I chose to drive 2 hours away. Too much time spent in a car!!!
With my experience so far, having a band placed in Mexico, I feel like I carry the scarlet letter on my stomach!! Each phone call I made, or have spoken to a secretary (a nice lecture once about going out of the country..blah blah blah.) It has not been the most rewarding process...so here is my recommendation:
Pay the money (it is $995.00 and $150.00 in office fills) to establish yourself with Bariatrics of Orlando in Celebration. You must provide them with every medical detail of your surgery. You will get a lecture from Dr. Kim (one of the best in his field..came highly referred by many doctors), his nurse, nutritionist, etc...But the one thing I did like the most, is how much they do care about your progress and your goals. I learned more in this consultation than any internet information out there, Dr.'s who would possibly do my fills, and Mexico..
Let's face it..no speakie English/no speakie Spanish...no understandee all the details of education on the lap band. And I strongly believe that you must have knowledge of this procedure and maintenance of the band to make it a success. |

| Here is the contact information for you if needed:
Bariatrics of Orlando-Program at Celebration Health
Dr. Kenneth Kim (I think it is Kenneth)
400 Celebration Place
Celebration, Florida 34747
407.303.4000 www.celebrationhealth.com
Once you set the appointment.. make sure to ask the desk person that you want fill out the required forms online...you will not want to fill these forms out at the office. It will take you over 30 mins...it saved me some serious time by going online!!!
Good Luck to all of you!!! |

City: Currently Sevierville, TN but moving to Orange City, FL April 1st State: TN but moving to FL | Dr Grossbard does my fills in Zephyrhills, FL....I believe that's close to Dade City?! It's $200 a fill. He accepts people case by case if they did not have surgery with him. He is with Pasco Surgical Associates if that helps to google.....
God Bless,
Melody

| Hello Bee
If you refer back to my previous emails...I hope this will help you. The closest fill doctor for you would be Dr. Jessee. I really liked her services, but the cost doubled and I had to drive over 2 hours. This is the only reason I ended up with Dr. Kim in Celebration.
And.. they also have a very good support group/events that help you answer most of the questions you may have. I didn't attend any of them, only because of the long drive, but I think you really need some type of physical contact with those who have had this surgery. It will help you out....
