Out of pocket for fills/ unfills?



Recommended Posts

I paid out of pocket for surgery. I don't have insurance as I am a stay at home mom. My fills are $150./ea. But I don't know if I have to pay for unfills too? Just want to know if it is the norm to have to pay for unfills too. Not that I will need one for a bit. Haven't even had my first fill!

Typically you pay for both. An unfill still requires you to be seen in an office and for a health care professional to work with you. However, it never hurts to ask if your fill is too tight if you can have a reduced or free visit to adjust it to normal. You never know, perhaps you'll get lucky.

wow! that's alot but it will be worth it especially if you can find a happy medium where you won't keep needin fills..my doc does a special for his patients which is unbelieveable i am a self pay with no insurance we have three months free post ops covered for fills but anything after three months we only pay $15 that's crazy! He could charge alot more but wants to assure we can et in there. To be honest i wouldnt care i would pay anythin if i could just to lose this weight

      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.

      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! 😞
