Illinois Fill Centers????



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if there is a Fill Center in Illinois/Chicago? my insurance doesn't cover them and my doctor only does them under fluro at a cost of $500-$600....and I've heard that there are centers and/or doctors that would do fills for almost half of that....

Thank you,

I went to Dr. Horgan in Chicago a longggggg time ago. I believe he charged around 200. I'm actually tryin to find his number because I lost it and I can't find it on the internet. Maybe you'll have some luck.

I just got back from Synchrony Health. This was the second time I've been there for a band adjustment. I can say that they do a damn good job. I can't say enough to you fellow Chicago area, Eastern Illinois and Western Indiana and Southeast Wisconsin Bandsters that this is the place to go to. As usual,, Dr. Watkins, Karen and Melody and the rest of the staff are the "BEST"!

Give them a call, 630-990-2440

I made an appt. at Synchrony Health for this Wednesday. The weather might cause me to cancel... but I know I am ready. Thanks for info - they charge $95., a real bargain. I've been on the phone all day trying to find a location closer to me. I might have to opt to pay more if the weather doesn't coorperate, otherwise - I'll pack my patience and reschedule at Synchrony.

I just called Synchrony for information. There is an ititial 500 transfer fee plus 95 for the adjustment. Subsequent adjustments are an additional 95 each. Hmm... If I were here to live and not just for 2 months I would consider it but that's a lot of money!! Will see what my other options are..... dont' want to spend more than 200-250.

I called and Dr. Shayani charges a $500 program fee, then $130 fills after ;( Im only here in Illinois for another 4 weeks... I guess I'll wait until I get back to Texas to see my surgeon. :thumbdown:

He charges a program fee if you had the surgery out of the country. If he is able to communicate with your Dr and they agree that you need care here temporarily, I believe there is no program fee.

      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.
