The doctor that did my original LapBand surgery (when I had insurance coverage) wants $585 for a fill or I can do a 1 yr deal for $1000 will fills (if warranted by them) every 4 - 6 weeks. Anyone know of any where that is more reasonable? I really only need one to maybe two adjustments. I need a tad removed.

who is your doctor? I am looking for a fill.

how much are these guys, my friend gets hers done in virgina but she lives in north carolina, it only costs her $169 dollars.

Can you tell me who her doctor is, I need to find one~!

I went to Ortiz and had an almost comically bad experience. I wont worry you with the details since most people report having a great experience.

Me too girls. So frustrated. Im with you in that I understood before hand that this was not a miracle "cure" but a tool, but I dont feel like its helping me at all (other than adding to a growing sense of guilt and failure, haha).

At this point I dont really get what its supposed to be doing. I was told on the day of the surgery I would not be hungry for a week, should stick to the liquid diet, etc. I was starving that very night. The day I got my first fill I felt absolutely no restriction and have felt none since then. I just dont get it.

I lost 20 lbs pre-op in about 2 weeks (atkins), and have lost 10 pounds in 4 months since the surgery.

Gar. I dont even have any helpful advice for you. I'm lost.
