Fill Doctor In Illinois?



Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a doctor who will do fill/unfills on patients who had a lapband put in in another state. Any leads on doctors, locations, and prices would be so very helpful!

Thanks in advance :)

Denise Orrill is a nurse practitioner near Mt. Vernon Il. charges 175.00 for 1st visit, 95.oo for subsequent fills. (very reasonable) here is the number: 1-618-249-6203. it's called Irvington Friendly Care. Irvington Il. Your welcome. I'm going to use her after I follow up with another surgeon right after surgery in aug.

Dr. John Wieland at OSF Weight Management Center Does them. Unfortunately, I don't know about pricing. That's in Bloomington, IL (central). 309-661-5040

Not sure where you are located but Dr. Elli is my doctor. He is in Chicago, UIC but he also works from the 900 Michigan Ave Surgical Center. No clue on pricing.

Dr Elli is also my surgeon. At UIC each fill is $250. I'm not sure if that's the flat rate or if that's based off your insurance. He's awesome.

Does bcbs cover fills with dr elli? Waiting to hear back from the office but i have no patience. My old

Doctor office covered fills I just had to pay my copay. Nurse wanted me to pay 250 for a fill and avoid acknowledging I had insurance...weird!

BCBS covered my fills at Northwestern. Kaitlyn Fiori is the nurse practitioner that normally does the fills. She works for Dr. Nagle (head of gastro dept.).

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
