My Doctor charges $150 if your insurance doesn't cover them.

Thanks guys I have really been worried about it. Im so close but it seems like I might lose my insurance right after I get it. At least I hope I can get it before my insurance is gone. Keep your fingers crossed.

You could call the office that will be following you outpatient and ask them what they charge.?

It depends completely on the doctor. I used to have my fills done under fluoroscopy and they were $250. With my current doctor, he charges $50 for an office visit and $100 for an office visit with a fill. He does "blind" fills. I am self pay.

There was a thread a while back with a 1 800 number. They said the fills were 50.00. There's an office in Dallas texas

My fills cost $200 until my deductible is met then it is 100%. $50 for just an office visit.

What is "blind" fills.

Fills done without fluoroscopy. Doctor inserts needle without the guidance of X-ray and there is no way for the doctor to observe your restriction.

With fluoroscopy doctor has a visual for port access and can observe your restriction level under X-ray.

I prefer fluoroscopy, but my new doctor doesn't do them that way.

Thank you for the information. Now to find out if my insurance covers the fills or not. Either way it won't change my mind about getting the surgery!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
