Band Fills - What do they cost in Oz

SteveInKansas · January 9, 2008

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.
