Holly85 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I had my first fill 2 weeks ago and I don't feel any restriction. The Dr. put in 3cc and I am just wondering if I need to go back for more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieB Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I had my first fill 2 weeks ago and I don't feel any restriction. The Dr. put in 3cc and I am just wondering if I need to go back for more? I would have to say yes. I would go back in and get more fill. I had 3 fills each 1 month apart. (my Dr won't do a fill any sooner than a month after your last fill.) It took me 3 months to get any sort of restriction. I could book my next fill but at $300.00 a pop, it is a bit pricey. So I will wait. It is nice to see the scale move. When I stop loosing I will book my next fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriBecky Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Here is a great video from Dr. Acosta explaining why a fill under fluoroscopy is beneficial and how to tell if you have good restriction: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't be able to come to Occ four my first fill, and was glad to watch this i hope they do the 3 b's here where i am going. They do the fluoroscopy or i would not go there.

DisasterWalking73 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Debbie - you may want to confirm this - but I believe I have in my paperwork (or maybe an email that I got before surgery) that fills for those of us that have had surgery at the OCC are free - BUT, there is a $100 fee for flouroscopy. Now, take what you will from that, because I've never heard of the OCC doing a fill without flouroscopy - so, basically it's $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is $100, and for those who are wondering, the price for fill and round trip to San Diego airport or pick up at the border is $199, cash or personal check only. I will take a taxi for $10 round trip from the border. Its just as good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdalaq Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Disaster walking, have you gotten your first fill yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsay Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I wasn't getting my fills done at the OCC, but I know they would do more than 1 fill in a 3 week period. It's baby steps, if you're getting it done without flouro. It's not a one-shot deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
