Band Fills - What do they cost in Oz



Recommended Posts

Might be a silly question but, with all the bouncing around from Dr. to Dr. how do you keep track of how much is in your band AND does your original Dr. cop an attitude cuz you took your business elsware cuz it was cheaper???

Possibly when you get to the "sweet spot" it doesnt matter how much is in the band, but shouldnt there be a record of it somewhere???

Not banded till Feb 5th, still got plenty of stupid questions!

P.S

I'm sure my GP will communicate with my surgeon about my visit, and how much he puts in my band, also I will be asking how much he puts in, and will inform my surgeon on anything relevent to my band, so it will be noted.

Good luck for feb Steve in Kansas.

My band fills will be bulk-billed, but my surgeon charges a co-payment of $15 for each appointment - they call it a "needle fee".Not sure if I will get any back from private health.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
