well, we can always stand on the corner with a sign: Will Work for Fills! :omg:

actually, I look at it like this: think of the great tax deduction I will have next year! I should get a huge refund - and that on top of the weight loss will make up for the cost of the program.

Hey that is wayyy funny! Will work for fills! You are correct it will be a good deduction. I did have to pay about $2,000.00 out of pocket and that hurt enough. But I always have a medical deduction each year. I have medical conditon unrelated to weight. That is why I had 5 years of documented medical records that stated my weight.

Hi Everyone,

I was just browsing this post, and everyone seems to be mentioning the Fill costs.. there is a lady that comes to Mesa every month and does fills for $100.00! she also works with Fill-Centers-USA, and my doctor personally recommended her to me.. I have her number, if anyone wants it.

Also, I was just informed that Dr. Simpson of Phoenix has a program were you pay a one time fee of 400.00 and you get to go to his support groups, his nutritionist, and he will fill you up for 100.00 as well..

hope this helps!

where in Mesa does the 'fill lady' do them? I wouldn't mind saving a couple hundred dollars when I do my next fill in August.

Still trying to find the money to get mine done. I found a website called prosper.com. Its a place where the company checks your credit and address and stuff and then you put up a posting about how much money you want (1000-25000) and what the highest percentage rate you would pay. People (lenders) look at them and can see your rating as far as credit goes. Its AA,A,B,C,D,E, HR each category is determined by certain credit scores. AA being the best. HR being High Risk. Anyway people can loan anywhere from 50 on up. The company takes care of getting the money back to the lenders.

Anyway I have put mine up there and we will see. If anyone wants to check it out tell them phoenixwife@yahoo.com sent ya. If you use them we both get like 25 bucks. That's 25 closer to my band!!!

Have a nice day and happy filling!!

      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.
