I had self pay surgery in detroit. loved my doctor but he left jsut after doing my surgery. his partner that I now see is nice and he has been very helpful< but I have to pay 150.00 each fill and I have not yet found my sweet spot. the only time i feel restriction is if I swallow food that i havent chewed well, or eat a regular portion (ie.... 4-6oz meat 1 cup veggie and starch, 2 slices of pizza, two eggs and a slice or toast, whole sandwhich etc...) I have never had an issue with any food (not that I want to) but i get this odd shoulder pain when my stomach is empty, and I am finding that it takes more then I should be eating to make the pain go away. I am hoping to find a doctor that does fills under fluro, as my u=current doctor doesn't and he also says at 7.5cc's I "shouold be at restriction and don't need any more fills or I will end up too tight" I don't want that but I woulod rather pay once and know that I am at restriction instead of paying a bunch of times for a .25cc injection and a good guess. any help would be great. thanks
