wow, i havent written in my blog in such a long time. so much as happened, gonna take a few posts to catch up. alright i'll start where i left off...

1st fill experience..

well 6 weeks after surgery i went and got my 1st fill. it was quite amazing. she only put in 1.2 ccs, i have a 5cc band. i was told the 1st fil was covered thru insurance, well the 1st 90 days. (this lady doesnt take insurance, we (my mom) have to pay out of pocket and then submit it to insurance..such a hassle) so anyways come to find out after i get the fill..that that isnt covered, somethin else is, i forgot what. so i had to pay out of pocket for this..like $200. my mom was livid, and we decided we couldnt afford to keep doing this. before i got the fill i had to go to a radiology place for the esophogram, i found out there that they do fills as well...somethin to keep in mind. so we were goin to stop going to this lady and find someone else. my mom called a bunch of dr.s but no one will touch me because they didnt put the band in, a little odd to me. so i felt it was time for another fill a month later, cuz i didnt have any results. so i made an appointment with that radiology place and that went perfect, they took insurance and i didnt even have a co-pay..mine is usually $20. so that was awesome. we called my family dr. and told him the situation, he said he would look over me and write the scripts for the fills. i feel this is better, but at the same time, this lady i was seeing concentrates mainly on the band and knos her stuff. so i feel a little weary about not seeing any specialist, but i just couldnt afford it if i continued with her..plus i didnt like her and she never remembered me, i always had to get her up to speed on where we left off. that was a little uncomfortable as well. but yea, so thats my story about switching dr.s. i'll post some more on other things later. ta ta for now.
