Does everyone have to pay for a unfill?

[lilmissy2009 0]

I went for my 3rd fill and there was a RUDE nurse practicioner there who did it. I was so full I couldnt swallow Water without it hurting..I had to come back a week later to get some out..I had to pay a 75.00 office visit! I just thought that was crazy! I didnt tell the nurse practictioner to put that much in there!!

So I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced the same thing??

I did get my unfill but now I am not feeling restriction at all and I am suppose to go tomorrow to get a fill (this appt was set up a while back) however the dr office called me on Friday and wanted to cancel.

I want to keep the appt though..I dont want it to hurt like it did but I do wanna feel full..I am starting to get very frustrated!!:biggrin:

I am sorry you had such a rotten experience. At my practice if a person needs an unfill because of vomiting within a week there is no charge, after that there is a $500 office visit fee the same as if a fill was given. What a racket!!!!! Because of that I have put off getting an unfill. I will go in for a small unfill right before my TT in 2 weeks. Of course that will be $500 and when I get it put back a couple weeks later it will be another $500!!!! Crazy, huh?

wow 500?? that is a fortune I thought NYC was bad but no! where do you live?

We are given 3 days to adjust after a fill. I'm having opposite problem i had .1 put in i had been gurgling this past w/ but also TOM; she thought it was too tight - so we took the .1 out this month and i'm starving now. Well I was complaining of having no room for veggies I guess i better start eating them!!

All of my adjustments for the first year after surgery are free, whether it's a fill or unfill. After the first year, adjustments are then only $50. I can't imagine paying $500! That's highway robbery!

I was self pay.. when I go to see my surgeon, if I get a fill, I pay $150... if I go and he doesn't do a fill, I pay nothing... if I have to go back for a slight unfill after a fill, I have gone back twice, the first time was a week later, the 2nd time the next night... I was NEVER charged for a unfill...have I mentioned that I LOVE my surgeon?? LOL
