I live 1 hour from Modesto and 2 from Sacremento. Most facility's are not accepting patients from other doctors. And when they are I am quote $1800 for an intial visit and fill. I don't currently have insurance until the begining of the year. Does anyone do where I can get fills for a reasonable cost?? Or is there an insurance company that I can pay for to help with the cost of seeing a new doctor? Join Date: Nov 2009 Age: 24 Posts: 2 City: Walla Walla State: WA View my Bandster Profile! Help!!!

I just moved to the Sonora area and have been shocked at the prices I have been quoted for a new patient. $1800 for first visit and fill (no payments allowed). I currently do not have insurance and can. Does anyone have ideas on a doctor that I could go to for a more reasonable cost. Or know of any insurance that I could get that would cover the intial fees for a new patient?

Don't give up. I was really discouraged at first..I wouldn't lose any weight for 2-3 weeks at a time then lose 7-10lb(weird) my next weigh in...I haved averaged 10 or so pounds a month...although the last 3 only 3 pounds a month. I am down 102 not quite a year after being banded. Good Luck !:smile2:

I first it was really annoying. But after I stopped think about it I really didn't notice it any more. I was scared at first that I would feel it for ever. It took me about a month before it didn't feel it. Hope that helps :thumbup:
