Anyone from this area? Wondering about the Dr i am going to have my lap band with...Dr Fiallo ? anyone gone to him?

hi,

Got my appt with Dr Fiallo for May19th....but the support group is full for May so i have to wait till June i guess...Do you no how many they will have in June and when they are as i forgot to ask the lady in the office when she called me with my appt...i have to attend 2 and ever thing else is done...help, ha,ha.....

PS....do i need to sign up for the meetings?..I cannot believe the May one is filled...rats! like i said i need 2 meetings before they can send my file to bl cr.......

I'm so excited for you sweet pea!!!! I am pretty sure they only do one support group per month, so maybe you can call and get it set up to attend the june and july. I hope everything goes good for you, keep me updated. Take care.:biggrin:

i did get my appt for May 19th...sorry if i repeated this...i cannot get into the May support group and maybe not even the June one...the office said they had stopped the meetings for a month and now they are behind with them so i might not beable to go till Aug.:thumbup:..i will keep you updated.....Bev

hey everyone from springfield! i also have dr. fiallo. he does great work... i just wish the office staff were a little more friendly. but with an office that busy, i can understand. i do have a question for ya guys, though... does anyone know how much a fill costs without insurance? i have recently become uninsured and need a fill soon.

i am not really sure but i have heard they can be expensive...Maybe they will give you a discount for not having ins.....i heard but not from Dr Fiallo office it can run 240. a fill...not cheap and really don't go by me and ask for a discount for not having ins...what the heck they can only say no...let us know what they say and how much $$$$...
