Cleo I have a 4 cc band (the first one that came out....name escapes me right now), I always get .2 when I get a fill (tried more but being OVER FILLED IS NO JOKE).
Why? Once I reached proper restriction (I think it was 1.75) my fills last me. I know I need a fill by what I eat ex: a double cheeseburger

Hey Sis!!
That sucks, but I'm glad they cut you a deal. My first fill after moving and changing insurance was under Flouro and cost me $450 OOP. A necessary evil at the time, but it's been almost two years. You go every three months?
As for the basics, it's hard as hell but you can do it. Stay encouraged. 
ETA: Just saw your reply to MsCleo.

hug :) 
Its not the insurance it is actually your employer *****stricts the bariatric option. I have United Healthcare and I only pay $10 for fills. In fact, I only paid $20. for my entire surgery consult, hospital admission and copay TOTAL.
Working on me - want to be better in everyway not just physically!!! Its a process no time to judge or be judged!!!!
