Im a cash patient (ins. didnt cover) and my first 3 fills are free, but Im worried about how much fills after those will be. Any cash patients out there who have paid cash for a fill? How much was each one? I know prices will vary obviously but I want to get an idea. Thanks

:smile2::thumbup:Hello! I am also a cash patient, however I get one year of fills and office visits included in the price! After that, I will have to pay $75 for office and if I need a fill, then it is $150.

Good Luck in your new band life! I Love it!

I lost my insurance after surgery and now have to pay for my fills. They are $125 per visit. I think everywhere is different though, I've heard you can get them some where around where I live for $50. Just call your doctor's office and ask. I'm sure they would be glad to tell you.

Mine are $100 per fill. I am sure it varies, but you should be able to at least get an estimate.

I was also a cash patient. I have not yet received a fill, but I do know that the cost with my doctor is as follows: $325 for the first 2 fills (cost is per fill). After that, from the 3rd fill on, the cost is reduced to $250 per fill. My husband and I look at as peanuts compared to the $20k we spent for the surgery.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
