Self-Pay -- how many fills included in your price?

I have a surgery date for Dec. 15th, there must be a lot of people with $$ in Los Angeles to have to wait that long!

I was told that 4 fills are included in the $15.5 price, then $250 after.

Someone posted that Dr. Korman had previously been offering free fills for life...

Anyone negotiate a better deal? Or, to put it another way, how many fills did your doctor offer as part of your original package??

Here in San Antonio my doc offers free fills for 1 year with self pay. I've seen 1 year and 2 years...but never "for life"...that would be pretty nice!

i was self pay - dallas, tx. $15k price included 10 free fills the first yr - no charge for unfills. after that, $100 a pop.

Included in my self pay of 17k, was a year of service of any sort (except surgial fixes) I have only needed five fills and I have done three under floriscope.

VA- Self Pay, $13,500, includes fills 1st year. $200 (I think) after 1st year.

Hi I am in the U.K paid £8000 gbp to have my band.3 fills included. Unfortunately need another fill now at cost of £250 gbp. Any fills over the 1st 'free' ones are £250 each.

How many fills are needed in the first year on average? The people I am looking at include the first six fills for free in the first year only.

I have fills for life thru JourneyLite in Houston, TX. I also think they have a branch in California. I paid 13,500.

wow...what sweet deals! :thumbdown: For life, for a few years.... lol

I asked how many were included and was told...the doc has the vast majority of patients where they need to be within 3 months...so you won't be needing years of free fills. I was like...oh...okay, then.
