They are so caring and really want to help us bandsters. If anyone needs a fill please call them. They will fill anyone.....most doctors only fill their patients that they banded themselves. You will love them.

New policy/fees for Drs. Wells and Curtis:

LAP-BAND FILL POLICY

EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2004

Tina T. Wells, M.D. and Elizabeth B. Curtis, M.D.

17505 Old Jefferson Highway

Prairieville, La 70769

Ph (225) 673-8983

Fax (225) 677-8983

1. The price for all fills will be $300.00 per fill. This price includes the facility fee, the physician fees, and all supplies.

2. For all patients getting their first fill after their surgery they will get a maximum of 4cc in their band if they have the 11cc band.

3. All fills are done under fluoroscopy under the supervision of both physicians without exception. This is done to ensure that complications are minimized and results are maximized.

4. We will offer a one-time discount fill to patients who do not feel restriction after they have a fill. For example if you come for a fill in January and pay $300 and do not feel restriction, you can schedule to come back in February and we will repeat your fill for $150. If these patients feel they need to come back in March for another fill the cost will again be $300. The discount is only extended until the next schedule date that we do the fills. We will be doing fills on average once a month.

(EXCEPTION: Patients getting their first fill after surgery get max 4cc – restriction is not expected).

5. We rent a fluoroscopy facility for these procedures so all these procedures must be scheduled through Dana at our office. The frequency averages once a month but the dates change. The fills will ALWAYS be done on Friday afternoon between 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.

We have worked out the kinks and hope these changes can accommodate more patients.

Thank you and good luck!

Tina T. Wells, M.D. Elizabeth B. Curtis, M.D.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
