I had planned on an aftercare doc after I have my surgery in TJ, but when I had the money to pay them for a fill, I found out that their lawyers are deciding on wheather or not to take other docs patients. I called my second choice and low and behold, now they arent seeing other doctors patients. So, the first doctor I came to that would see me I made an appointment with. $325...Fill with no floro, he offered no nutritional advise or even what to eat after a fill. He is 3 hours away from me. I live in Mobile, Al so I can go to Panhandle of Florida, Mississippi or Louisiana. We get cheap airflights from here to Houston, but then I have to stay overnight and a taxi. HELP!!!! I know there has to be someone out there!!!

Does anyone know if Fill Centers USA, does fills for patients from any patient from any Dr? My dr. charges 275 per fill!

yeah fill USA does fills for anyone, My Dr. don't do fills but the hospital I had my surgery at charges 150.00 if you had your surgery at that hospital and 500.00:scared2: if you didn't , but my Dr. paid for the first 2 I am schedule for my third fill on 4/7/08 but I don't think I will need it I still feel the effects of the second one 1.5 month later

Wow this is a great thread, I hope all those who are considering getting the band read all the posts with great local info on prices. It really helps when people know all the facts when choosing a band clinic.

I paid 16K for my band, which by most standards is a lot of buckaroos, but since my fills are free and the clinic is only a 15 minute drive from my house, perhaps it was money well spent.

I think I am at a "sweet spot" for right now, and it took 5 fills.

The outrageous fill prices and gouging of the insurance companies is part of the reason why most insurances wont pay. We are out of pocket, no exceptions and i'm thinking they mentioned in the seminar that the fills at our surgeon is only $75. However, I'm going to double check this in the morning. I cant believe they can charge 300-1500 and get away with it!!
