COST

Approximately how much are fills and are they covered by your insurance? I have noticed the band is an less expensive surgery but does it end up costing more with getting fills every few weeks? Am I looking at out of pocket expenses? I will ask the Dr. when I see him on the 12th but wanted a heads up.

It depends on the insurance, they are covered by insurance and I only have a co-pay. 

I've only had one fill and am hoping it is covered by my insurance.  Hoping to get another fill in a week or so.

I was a self-pay but my doctor includes 3 fills in his price- so it was like 17,000 for everything- post op checkups and 3 fills. I haven't had any yet but my doctor I think said 1-4 usually, and sometimes yearly or bi-yearly thereafter.

I can take yearly and bi-yearly...lol

Thank You All for the responces.. I am praying it is covered by my co-pay or even a package thingy.

I can tell you the doctor you are seeing will tailor your guidelines specifically to your insurance. 
   I would call your carrier and see if they cover the band and rny. See what you have ahead of you!
  Good luck

Call your surgeons office, they can tell you what is covered or not.  Cigna covers with just a copay!!  yea me!!
