That completely depends on how it's done. I have mine in the hospital under fluoroscopy, and the total tab is about $800. Thankfully, it's covered by insurance.

Mine is $150 without fluoro. She had to stick me multiple times, but since I've lost 40 pounds, it's easier to feel the port.

My doctor does it in his office he said that there is not much difference if he does under fluro or his office. It is $125 a fill my insurance pays for most of it. I think I pay $25. If he can take the fliud out of the band when he starts than he states he knows he is in the right place. I can feel the fluid going too.

I beileve my surgeon charges $150 to self-pays. That's without fluoro. With fluoro runs around $800. My insurance (supposedly, we'll say) retains through the life of the band, so I pay $20 copay per fill.

My fills are done in my drs. office without fluoro, just a long spinal needle. He charges $75, which compared to what everyone else pays, it is pretty cheap!!! I have not had any bad experiences with this dr. yet, hope to keep it that way.:)

Can all who have given prices tell me if you had surgery elsewhere besides the doctor who does you fills and what town you are having them done? Thanks,
Cabux
