Guest guest Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 >>>n, would you be willing to share with us the name of this doctor and where he is located? He sounds great. M.<<< Hi , His name is Dr. Henry C. Sobo, working out of Stamford, CT. I found him through a friend's recommendation. http://www.drsobo.com/ If this isn't anywhere near you, there should be some good holistic MD locators (by state) online. On quick search, the AHMA has this one: http://www.holisticmedicine.org/ Go to " Public " on the toolbar and hit " Doctor Finder " . All the very best, , in finding one that suits you!

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Well, I went to priceline and their best flight price was $274. I had used October 17th as departure and 18th as return. So is that cheaper then using a local doc? (Total cost would be $524, plus hotel unless their is a local bandster willing to take maria in for the night? ) You could try for a same day flight but I think that would be pushing it. You have to get your fill in the afternoon. M. 3/1/05 280/194/160 http://www.tracyslapband.com From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of D.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Hi , thanks for your help. Actually, I'm going to probably end up doing it locally because it's just way out of my budget. Sigh. Well, the people I've spoken to at another forum swear that the Dr. that charges $300 (without flouro) locally is the best. Two of them have said to me that they have flipped ports and Dr. Gomez gets them with only one stick every time. These people drive about 6 hours from other parts of Florida to see this doctor who is only 20 minutes away from me. He seems to be pretty popular...but, I don't know. I will have to see for myself. I'll keep you posted. From: " Mills" <techgurl88@...>Reply- To: < >Subject: RE: For MDate: Wed, 28 Sep 2005 21:41:27 -0500 Well, I went to priceline and their best flight price was $274.
