I am in transition from one insurance to another, I was supposed to have my first fill appt tomorrow but I haven't heard from my new insurance yet. My question is does anyone know what a fill costs out of pocket? If I reschedule this I can't get seen until July 5th :( Thanks.

I've heard all different prices on that come through this forum. The best thing you can do is call your doctor's office & find out what they charge

I would definitely call the office and find out their charges.

For me, it costs $115. They charge me a $40 co pay when I walk in the door and if I get a full they charge me $75 more. :-(

My doctor charges $75 out of pocket for a fill, but I heard most charge around $100-$115 in my area

I've heard about $100 pretty consistently.

Thanks everyone. I did call the office yesterday twice, left two messages and no one called me back :( So I ended up going through the scheduling department and moving it out until July 5th.....so bummed and hope I can control these hunger pains until then :wacko:

Seems to me that you shouldn't have to wait three weeks for a fill. Don't they answer the phone? My suggestion.....KEEP calling. When I've needed a fill, I never waited more than 2-3 days. One day (luck of the draw), they got me in the same day.

Keep trying! As they say..... "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" (so to speak).

Good luck. I know how frustrated you must feel.

My dr charges a LOT. with my high deductible my oop is $425! That was a big shock to me so you are wise to reschedule until y know more!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
