I just had my lap band surgery from Dr. Thomas Bass. He works on this coast and the other coast. I think he still has an office in Cape Coral. He and his wife, tiffany, are great. I don't have the number handy, but if you just google his name you will get him. Good luck! Tell them Christine sent you :)

I just moved here in June from KY I thought it would be easier to find a surgeon but I have been wrong so far. I need one that will accept medicare and florida medicaid.
I have been doing paper work for palms of pasadena but their fees are extremely high and I am on SSI so how could I make those payments? They require a thousand dollars upfront for support group fees and things of that nature and 25 dollars for the seminar? what kind of mess is that?
Does anyone know a surgeon that accepts both medicare and medicaid? that isnt at the top of FL. I am in Port Charlotte.

Hi Sidd,
I know Dr. Bass takes Medicare, but I don't know about Medicaid. I am on disability, so my funds are limited as well. They do require a $750 fee before surgery. I saved up for it. He does rny and lapband (medicare won't pay for sleeve). As a medicare patient you will have to have surgery in Hollywood, Fl at regional memorial hospital and you will stay the night. I LOVED IT THERE! It's the best hospital I have been to in FL or chicago (my home state). I haven't received a bill yet, so I can't tell you what the fee on my part will be.
I can tell you that dr. bass is very good and I love his nurse/wife, Tiffany. The rest of the staff is great, too. They have offices in bonita springs, cape coral and I think North Ft. Myers now. I don't have their number right now, but look up west coast bariatrics or Dr. Thomas Bass.
I would call and see how they can work with you. Tell them Christine from Naples referred you and maybe you can get a deal????? I don't have medicaid, so I don't know that end of it.
I hope it all works out. Write me more if you want more info

one more thing. I know the other coast has many more bariatric surgeons. Dr. Bass is really one of the first on this coast. It's crazy isn't it? I am so thankful he came over here as well because his home base is really Hollywood, Fl.
