Hi,

If anyone knows of any drs. in the Jersey shore area (NJ) pls let me know. I have been travelling 2hrs to get my fill from the dr. who did the surgery and he is quite expensive when it comes to the fills. His charge is $900 and my insurance won't cover that much. I am in need of a fill but can't afford his fee. HELP!!!!!

Hello,

I , too need a Dr in Dallas/Fort Worth area that will take over my aftercare. I am disappointed with my Dr and staff. He is out of network for me as well. My insurance is Aetna PPO. I am having to pay a $50.00 co-pay for my fills because he is out of network.

I use Dr Richard Carter in Arlington...and I have Atena my first three fills were not covered I had to pay 200.00 bucks out of pocket. Atena now covers my fills my co-pay is 48 bucks I am very happy so call Atena and check to see what they cover. The change took affect in May....

GOOD LUCK

I am due for a Dr visit June 25th but I think I am going to cancel it for another month. My last fill was March 12th and I had a hard time eating for months. Also my ins changed and my surgeon doesn't take my new ins. So he charges 375.00 for the office visit and 250 for the fill! I am not going to pay 375.00 just to get weighed! I have tried switching doctors but no one wants to take on someone else's patient! UUUGGGGG

Im in Richardson, TX. Is $200 the price per fill from that doctor total? I dont have insurance so Im looking for the cheapest fill price I can find in the DFW area. I dont mind driving.

Wow... I called Dr. Maese and was told that because I had my band done in Mexico that I would have to wait 3 months to visit him, then my first appointment would be 375, 200 for subsequent fills.... grrrrr!!!!

Yikes, I thought I posted this message.... hahahahhaha. Yes, I ran into this same issue, and even though this fill doctor wasnt my first choice, I had checked into this.

Iv got some more good news for you, Dr. Jayaseelan charges lap banders $150 cash price if you got your band in the U.S. but he charges $250 if you have the band put in by a Mexican doctor .... and they told me I was lucky at that. That many other doctors wouldnt see you at all if you have the band put in in Mexico. He is in Medical City, and I believe would be a better choice for me than Dr. Maese, just irratated about the difference in price. I may call Davidson?? at Presbertarian Hospital and see if he also charges extra if you were banded in Mexico.

Let me know if you find anyone good to do your fills at $200 per fill in our area.

Wow, thank you so much! Do you know if the first visit costs more than subsequent visits? I may just drive back to Mexico because I dont want to wait 3 months for my first fill. I have felt healed since the day of surgery.

It would cost you the $250 Dr. Jay charges to drive to Mexico wouldnt it? I can get "free" fills for a year or something with my doctor in Mexico, but turns out I have to pay $100 for the fluor to measure the fill. It didnt mention the extra $100 charge to go back to Mexico in the original quote. lol. As I said to me the costs keep going up up up.

I figure the gas would cost me close to $200 both ways to drive to Mexico, plus you would need a hotel for the night.

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
