macleay Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 To all my fellow banders. I would like to know how much of a fill you received with your 11cc bands. Please let me know My first fill was at the OCC and was 3ccs. I got no restriction from that fill, but from what I understand, that is pretty normal.

bogiesmom Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 3cc at OCC, no restriction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandyfsc Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I was banded 01/15 at the OCC and had my first fill 03/16 by a local doctor. I got 6 CC's. I just started eating solids yesterday. And to be honest, I still don't feel restriction. I'm not overeating at all so maybe that's why?? Not sure. But I think my doctor gave me more of a fill than most because I am paying $400 a pop! So he wanted to make it worth it. Now I kinda wish I had got more. But I feel great so it's OK. I'll just start saving up for the next one....

mandyfsc Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 No, this was not under fluoro. I think it's $150 or $200 more for that. I have been self pay for everything thus far and wanted to keep it that way so that nothing ever shows up on my insurance. So I just paid $200 for the initial consult when I was there and $400 for the fill. They asked for my insurance info and said they would file it. I wasn't going to let them but they said it won't hurt if it gets denied and if it is accepted then I'll get some money back. That would be nice but I'm not holding my breath. I know the pricing seems high but I've looked and looked and his prices seemed the most reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaJ Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 6cc at the OCC. My husband got 4.5cc. I am going to go back for another fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
