Terrible time with trying to get 1st fill

Lynn0216, I know exactly what you are talking about. I was banded by Dr. Ortiz in Mexico in Oct 2007 but since I live in the bay area I wanted to find a local doctor for my fills. I went lapsf for my first fill and was treated like dirt by the doctor there (I'm sure it's the same one you had). I paid $375 for the fill and then I got charged $800 for the fluro because they didn't set it up for me before I got to my appointment. Eventually it got worked out and I had to pay $200 for the fluro on top of hte $375.00. I left there with a bad taste in my mouth and looking at other options. I called Dr. McKeen's office in San Jose and was told a fill was going to cost me $400. So like a fool I went back to LapSF for my second fill and had a really nice female doctor filling in for the a-hole but when I got there I was told I had to pay $450 for the fill. I didn't have the fluro this time because I can't afford it. I am overfilled right now and having a hard time keeping even liquids down but I can't spend another $450 to get a slight unfill. I totally know how you feel and the male doctor there was sacastic and rude and completely obnoxious. I thought about going back to Mexico but again it's difficult to schedule the time away. It's nice to hear that I haven't been the only one with problems.
