How Much Do U Pay For An Adjustment?



Recommended Posts

Im almost 3 yrs post op and began having problems with my band about 4 mths ago. Seems like I see the dr often now. And each time its a 6 hr round trip and $160. My insurance only covered the first yr of fills. This is costing a fortune. And theres no end in sight.

Just criuos as to if my dr is charging a reasonable amount or not.

My doctor charged the insurance like $250 for the office visit and an additional 200+ for the fill. I have restriction so I have'nt been back since I lost my insurance that covers the fill.

I'm not self pay, but I asked on one of my visits how much my fills would be if I ever found myself without insurance, they told me fills would only be 40 bucks. I'm somewhat skeptical since it seems to be a LOT lower than anyone else charges, but that's what she told me.

I'm self pay and done with my free year. True Results Houston has several options...prepay 6 months for $240, monthly draft your bank $40 for a minimum of 6 months with no refund, or pay as needed $125. My insurance doesn't cover any of it.

No insurance coverage. $150.00 each visit or $500/year.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
