    Sounds like he did what he should of. I hope you don't have a leak as well. Let us know what you find out.

    Fills/Leaks

    Kat- Omnipaque is a contrast agent used to find leaks in ports/bands as well as many other uses. BA- I have never heard that onmipaque could fix a leak. It is thinker than normal saline but if it is introduced to a band that already has saline in it, it would dilute. Did your Dr. do a high pressure test? (fill the band to near max capacity and let it stay there for about a minute) they could possibly see the radio-opaque fluid leaking out at that point. Unless it is a large leak, it may not be detectible right away.

    It was ok for a while.. Then it just got annoying to me.
  9. RLJ, You'll find that there is a huge difference in cost depending where you go. I have heard of fills costing as little as $50, and as much as a couple grand. I do know that Doctors will charge insurance one thing, but what the insurance company actually pays is another. You should find out if what they are charging and what they receive are the same. You always have the option of finding another place that is more competitively priced if you are going to be charged that much each time you have to go for an adjustment.

    I need to stop smoking

    Lets see. the way that I ended up quitting was going to the bar and getting so drunk that my hangover lasted for 3 days. During those three days i couldn't even look at a cigarette without getting nausious. After the 3 days, I just carried on without smoking.

    What does everyone do for a living?

    Physician Recruiter / Director of Provider Relations - Lots of fun and pays the bills.
  12. Well, the only reason I gave it up was to make our honeymoon teh best I could, and at that time I wasn't making a whole lot of money.. I should have kept it. I should have kept it. I should have kept it. Oh well, at least my new wife won't have to sit on the same seat as so many others once did. I can't even begin to count how many times I would be sitting at a stop light in down town Scottsdale and some random woman would hop on my bike and demand a ride... Mammories.. :clap2: I mean memories!!!:biggrin1:
  13. I sold my '96 fat boy to go on a honeymoon in 2002 only to get a divorce 6 months later... Go ahead and make fun, I deserve it... My new wife is pushing me to get another one. I just have to make my decision on what I want now.

    Happy with McKeen / fill / Utah

    Fill Centers USA has contracted with a Bariatric Physician in Salt Lake City to do fills. Prices are much cheaper than McKeen.

    The new Smoke-Free Ohio Law

    They just passed a law in Arizona where no one can smoke in bars... I know that there already are bars that are smoke free, but making all of them that way is rediculous... You know who voted for it to be that way? People who don't smoke, and probably don't even go to the bars. I'm sure there also were a few that don't smoke and do go to the bars that voted.
