Recommended Posts

Since there is a chance that I might lose my insurance I wanted to know what does it cost to get a fill without insurance?

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
