I am in transition from one insurance to another, I was supposed to have my first fill appt tomorrow but I haven't heard from my new insurance yet. My question is does anyone know what a fill costs out of pocket? If I reschedule this I can't get seen until July 5th :( Thanks.

I've heard all different prices on that come through this forum. The best thing you can do is call your doctor's office & find out what they charge

I would definitely call the office and find out their charges.

For me, it costs $115. They charge me a $40 co pay when I walk in the door and if I get a full they charge me $75 more. :-(

My doctor charges $75 out of pocket for a fill, but I heard most charge around $100-$115 in my area

I've heard about $100 pretty consistently.

Thanks everyone. I did call the office yesterday twice, left two messages and no one called me back :( So I ended up going through the scheduling department and moving it out until July 5th.....so bummed and hope I can control these hunger pains until then :wacko:

Seems to me that you shouldn't have to wait three weeks for a fill. Don't they answer the phone? My suggestion.....KEEP calling. When I've needed a fill, I never waited more than 2-3 days. One day (luck of the draw), they got me in the same day.

Keep trying! As they say..... "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" (so to speak).

Good luck. I know how frustrated you must feel.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
