Hey ElaineC, glad to hear your information about Dr. Beltre in Florida. I'm also in Florida and will be banded July 10 by Dr. Ortiz. Like you, I had called the Tampa office and priced their fills. I'm on the East coast of FL, south of Orlando, so Altamonte Springs would be closer for me as well. Where are you located in FL? How was your surgery at OCC? How has post-op diet been going? THat is if you don't mind sharing, I'm so curious since mine is coming soon. And we're both fellow FLoridians! Good luck on your fill and I'll be most interested in your thoughts on him. Feel free to e:mail me at nkswann@yahoo.com.
