Hi there,

I would ask your doctor. Some doctors include fills in the price that the patient pays for the surgery. Some times insurance will cover the cost, and sometimes you need to pay out of pocket, and I have heard the prices have a huge range from like $100-$500. Although I think paying more then $250 for a fill is too much. But again it depends on your area and your doctor. Your best bet is to ask. Good Luck!

Hi,

I was done by Ray McHenry this year. I pay $105 each visit, might be $103 and I get it all back from medicare. I am over my medicare threadhold however I think I got all back before hitting that limit, all but $1 or something small.

Regards

I go through ESV and you get 100% back from medicare as they bill 25% under the scheduled fee so there is no gap for us to pay.... you pay them and then go over to medicare and get it all straight back. Lucky us! I've had 12 adjustments so i'd be a bit broke if it was $250 a pop like some other people have to pay.

I pay nothing, it was all included in my up front out of pocket expenses of $3060. They just bulk bill medicare each time for anything for the rest of my life which i think is a pretty good deal.

I paid $2500 upfront for a personal trainer, Protein for life and fills up to a yr after surgery. I think after that they only charge for when its flurol(sp?)

      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.

        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.

      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!
