How much does your doc charge for fills under fluoroscopy?
Sommerbrez replied to Losing_It_In_Texas's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My Fills are done under Fluro each time I get a fill and it cost me 50$(BCBS Insurance) a fill..I just got my 3rd fill on 6/9/09..I am glad my doctor does it under fluro..That way he knows that the needle is inserted properly into the port area..Plus it makes me feel comfortable as well knowing its done right.. -

I weigh 189 today..I am slowly gettin there, I was at a stand still..But I know its gonna get better with each fill and the way I eat..I am so proud of you, girl you are down to 181..That is amzing...how is your eatin habits going..? I know if I eat bread, it gets stuck, so umm no bread for me.. LOL...Oh yea, when i got my fill yesterday, it hurt alot. The Dr said cause I got the feelin comin back where here put my port in, he said like the first 1 or 2 fills there is scar tissue, so you dont feel the needle go n as much even though he numbs me first..But this time..I felt all of it...ouch!!, Did you have that prob yet?? Let me know how you are doing?? You look good in your pic btw..Your doing great...Hugs -

When did you actually feel Restriction with your Fill?
Sommerbrez posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
:tongue:I got banded on March 26th-09.I have a 10cc band..I got a fill on march18th-09 2cc fill. Did anyone feel restriction after the first fill and excatly when will you see results to losing weight..My doc said it may take 3 or 4 fills.I just wanted some input from other banders..I sometimes dont fill much of a restriction with 2cc's..But somedays I do..Input would be great...Thks Sommer -
I am right there with you.I was banded on Feb 26th.. I weighed 207, now i am at 183..I got my first fill march 18th. I to did not feel any restriction..I was still able to eat what i wanted, but I know like everyone says it takes a couple of fills to get to that spot..So next week I go in and get another..My last fill I only got 2cc's, so hopefully this time i will get 2cc's more...I also do the Protein drinks and watch what I eat..I know it takes time, but it seems I am at a stand still at this point,either way I know in the long run we will get to our goal and look back on all this...Good Luck and keep in touch...keep me posted about your progress... Thanks Sommer

I had my Lapband done by Dr. Srinivasa Gorjala MD, He is located in Morrow,Georgia..His office does fills... 4000 Corporate Center Dr Surgery South Suite 140 Morrow, GA 30260 -
Hi Poma,
Since my surgery, I have been doing alot of protein shakes as a snack..I had my first fill on march 18th, really didnt notice any restiction..But they say its usually the 3 or 4th when u can feel the restriction..So I am lookin forward to that..I usually cant eat much in the mornin, am tighter then..So i drink coffee or some grits..Then later on I drink protein shake, then supper which is mostly chicken or fish..I have been able to eat mostly anything, so I am due again for another fill here soon,hopefully in the next 2 weeks..My first fill was only 2cc, So the next one I cant wait...But I now I've lost 29 pounds...Oh I ride my bike every other day...But its a gradual process and your will get there ... But congrats on your band and good luck....
