It was an interesting day, mainly because I am a small town girl and I drove to Manhattan by myself which was a trip! For new patients who were not banded at NYU you get an esophogram (sp) done 1st to check band placement, etc. Then up to Ren's office which was pretty small and jammed packed. Nurse does a history and physical, Dr Ren was all business, then she did the fill. She gives you a chart to look at to determine your current level of restriction, then bases that on how much of a fill to give.
I told her I had no restriction so she put in 1cc. Go back every 4 weeks for adjustments.
$40 out of pocket, they will bill insurance for the rest...wondering how that will go since I was banded in MX.
