Fill Docs in NJ?

NeenBand · June 29, 2007

My surgeons are having Medicare issues. I have had 2 fills in a year and a half. I need fills!

Anyone know of a fill doc?

Just an update for everyone. I still have not gotten a fill. Seems Morristown hospital is not a "Center of Excellence" so Medicare won't pay for the fills. I asked the staff at my surgeon's what will they do if Medicare won't cover them? How will you take care of me? And she hesitated and said she would call back when they get an answer.

2 months later and I still have not heard back.So here I am with a band that is doing nothing for me. I was banded in March of 05 and have 2 fills.

I think that is awful.

Hi Julie, Thank you for your info. I will give Mount Laurel a call.

I went for my 2 year check up and the radiology doctor could not believe how open I was, he said it was like a normal stomach and asked me why i don't have fills, and it just made me sad to think I went through this surgery and now...nothing. I'm still unfilled 1 1/2 years later due to my doctor's hospital not taking my insurance for fills, and the staff has not worked anything out for me in regards to the doctor's fees to get fills.
