rwensley 0 Posted May 31, 2011 In preparation for my first fill I have been searching for a doctor to take on my needs. I had the band placed in Detroit, MI via the brokers Belite. The doctors with Dean Health Care in Madison, WI, 1 hour south from where I live, would only see me if I went through their weight management courses. These are 90 days long at a cost of $7,000 to $9,000! Then I can start the fills at a cost of $550 per visit. I am self pay and find these prices way out of line. So I started calling around to doctors in the surrounding areas and found that the Marshfield Clinic in Marshfield, WI will take on my case. They require an upper GI for the initial visit and the fills are $330 for each visit. Marshfield is 2 hours north but it is a nice drive in the country. For anyone looking to use a broker such as Belite, you may want to check this out first with your local clinics to make sure they are not displeased you went else where for the procedure.
