I'm technically in Fargo but I'm looking for a fill doc that's close and cheap, currently I'm going to Bismarck and it's costing me 177 with ins./ 1700 without insurance...Anyone have any ideas?

Hi Neighbor! I am in Moorhead! AS far as I know there are no fill DRs in the area. I had my surgery in Theif River Falls MN a 2 hour drive when needed:unsure: I had my surgery in Dec 2007.

I do know the Drs in Fargo are not even doing Lap Band anymore. But, they won't touch you anyway if you had your surgery elsewhere. I had quite the heated debate with their nurse over this, even inquiring, what if I had moved here from NY & needed a Bariatric Dr, they said too bad and said it was people like me who have their bands done all over & in Mexico & then want a local Dr to take on the problem. I was like...huuuhhh... my surgeon is in the same hospital network. I decieded with their poor atitidues, I wouldn't want any work done there anyway. :thumbup: The drive is definatley a pain, especaill when I needed a few "emergancy" unfills, but has been worth it!

I started at 252, down to about 180. Clothes size 20/22 to 14/16!

Keep up the good work too!
