Hi I live in Jacksonville, and I am wondering if anyone on this forum is from Jax... Let me know :wave:

If anyone is going to the seminar Tuesday with Dr. Webb or used Dr. Webb, please please please let me know.

Thanks,

Kim

Hi Kim,

I am from Jacksonville, but did not use Dr. Webb. A couple of people in one of my support groups did though, and they seemed very happy with him. My surgeon was Dr. Herrera at St. Vincent's and I absolutely love him. When are you hoping to have surgery?

Hello! I still need to check into the cost of surgery at St. Vincents. I have found it to be around $17,000 for self pay at the 3 places I have checked so far.

Once I start the process, it should take about 6 weeks. I have been to a seminar and a consultation, and I may want to attend a support group meeting too. I have not yet met anyone that had the band, so it would be nice to get to talk to people that have done it.

Thanks for writing and best of luck!

Heya I know this doesn't help but I lived in Jville up until 9 years ago~ One of my babies was born in St vincints!
Just wanted to say Ello!
I was there this past summer for a week, they are really fixin' up the area!

I'm in Jax, being banded by Dr Baptista on may 20, can't wait. I am also interested in knowing about Dr Webb for a friend of mine.

Jacksonville Weight Loss Center (Drs Cywes and Babtista) do the surgery for $14,450 (self pay) at the Surgery Center in Jacksonville Beach. I went in at 7:00 and was home by 11:30. The hospitals are traditional a more expensive route and if you are self pay you want the best deal possible. Sometimes you HAVE to do it at the hospital if you have some serious health contraindications but if you are otherwise healthy then I would highly recommend the surgery center (outpatient) route.
