1) I live in CO

2) fills are $100 after my three months of covered care. My fills are done without fluoro but if I were to get one with, it would be covered by my insurance.

3) My band surgeon does my fills himself.

4) I don't really understand this question. Are you asking if he is banded himself.... no.

3) Surgeon

4) Yes he was banded

I need to know what kind of prices are quoted around the country. Please

include in your post:

1) Area of USA - Dallas, Texas

2) Price with and without fluoro - with $250, they don't do it without I made a $50 co-pay, insurance picked up the balance.

3) Type of Provider, (MD, APN etc) - don't know what APN stands for, my fill was done by a nurse practitioner

4) Is that provider a "bandster? - the doctor isn't but the nurse practitioner is

What is fluoro? I'm gussing you need the balloon filled with saline? If that's the case how often? Thanks

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
