Wow... I wonder what caused that pain? You'll never get another fill again with him or anywhere? I wonder if the more weight you lose the more painful the fills are.. interesting.

Well let me explain.....I had ten fills in one year and was never restricted period....The of us women whom our husbands work with each other went to have lap band....Our insurance paid a 100 percent.....Now three of us have never lost any weight......When we go in for a fill I only pay 25.00 and insurance covers the rest...Now if I went in and paid cash it would cost me a hundred...but he charges my insurance around 700 dollars last time I checked....How rich does this guy want to get off of us three women......

I remember your previous post about this Dr. At that time I suggested you call your ins company to tell them you suspect fraud by this Dr.

They could send you to another Dr/hopsital to check the band and fill and then decide if fraud is involved with this Dr.

Besides, don't you want a band that works?
