1st fill

[Willi333]

I just called the Fill Center to make an appointment for my first fill and hoped to be able to go on June 7, which would be 6 weeks after surgery.

Well, Darlene who does the fills in Roswell can get me in on May 31 or June 21 so that means either I get a fill after 5 weeks or I wait and get a fill after 8 LOOONG weeks. She would be o.k. with the 5 weeks unless my port incision has not healed up.

WHAT ARE YOUR SUGGESTIONS ???

Thank you Evette > I can't stand the thought of waiting 8 weeks - I guess I go with the 5 hoping everything will turn out o.k.

I would do it at 5 weeks, so many people gain a little bit weight before the fill or just stay the same so that's 3 extra weeks you'll have to be riding the scale downward!!!

I would like to know how much you pay for your fill in Roswell. I'm trying to decide if I should go to Dr. Ortiz for mine or go to the Roswell fill center. They told me it would be $549 for the first fill and floro. Sheesh!!

The cost is pretty close to me going to TJ!

thanks for any info,

Hi Jena,

I just set my first fill date for 05/31 - still a little sceptic because it is only 5 weeks after surgery, but I def. do not want to wait 8 weeks

The first/initial visit & fill is $349.- and $200 for the fluoro, total $549. After that it drops down to visit & fill $165 and the fluoro $120 -> total $ 285. I think it is a little expensive, but if I would go back to TJ with ticket & fill package it would be more expensive and time consuming, but also no turn around if something would not feel right ... so in the long run, Roswell is less expensive and also very convenient for me since it is only 20-30 min. away from home. All the GA bansters who went to Roswell are very pleased with Darlene (the NP), so I thought I'd be in good hands

I will keep you posted ;-)

Let me know how are you doing and maybe we can meet up for a fill in the future :cheerleader:

That is really expensive. I went to a fill center in Austin, TX it was 349.00 for the first time and only 80.00 for the fluoro and after that it will be 165.00 plus the 80.00. I wonder why the price is so different here.

As far as I understood ... the visit/fill price is set by the Fill Centers, the price for the fluoro on the other hand is set by the NP who does the fills.

The fluoro price is based on the individual provider. Darlene charges 200 for initial fluoro and 120 for subsequent as stated earlier. I do wish it was cheaper but it's not and it's not worth going to another fill center to save the money.
