Utah Surgical weight loss center scam!

So I am really PO'd right now and need to vent!

I just got a bill from the dr that gave me my 2nd fill for $274.32! When I called to set up an appointment I asked how much I would be charged. Now, just to be clear I called more than once to make sure I was getting the real price and not just because I was banded out of state. They told me the fill was $150. And there was a new patient fee of 100 (which they didn't ask for then, but i figured they would bill me). So I was looking at about $250 total right? Apparently they lied every time I called because now on top of the $150 ALREADY paid, they want the 274.32. If I knew they were charging $425 I would have gone back to Dr K and stayed overnight!!!
AND I would have had one painless poke instead of the 5 minutes of digging that Dr.Cottam did!!

Please tell me it's not just me!!

Hi Marie!
So have you figured out the best place to get a fill in the UT area?

No, it costs less for me to go to Colorado and get a fill from my surgeon there. I only pay $15 for fills there, so with a plane ticket it costs about $165.
