fill freebies - how many do you get?

[lindata 1]

I'm about to get banded in Nov and I've heard other people's doctors are giving them 18 months of free fills. My doc said the first 90 days! Am I getting gypped (sp?) or what?:angry What's everyone else's doc giving them?

I got 6 pre-paid with my surgery (self-pay).

But since none of the fills went in, and I ended up having to pay out of pocket to revise the surgery.. doctor didn't charge me for his revision surgery and for right now I have 'infinite' free fills.. probably till I make that $2,000 back the hospital charged.

I had a large program fee - but it includes 5 yrs of fills/doctor visits

Each doc is different....

My program fee was just 300 dollars. You are right. Every doc is different.

I guess with every doctor is different , the doctor I spoke to last week offers Free lifetime fills NO LIMIT, for me that is a plus!!

Yes, they can really add up, even with insurance. Lifetime fills at no charge sound nice!:cool:

It's not free. Some how, some way it's worked into their fee.

I was self pay, 7k and my fills are 155 and have only needed 2 so far and am about 30 pounds away from my goal.

I'd rather have a low price for surgery, no 'program fee', and a simple low fee for the fills. Comes out cheaper for the consumer.
