I need to know what kind of prices are quoted around the country. Please

include in your post:

1) Area of USA

2) Price with and without fluoro

3) Type of Provider, (MD, APN etc)

4) Is that provider a "bandster?

I am trying to gather this info for a friend of mine...thank you....

1) I live in CO

2) fills are $100 after my three months of covered care. My fills are done without fluoro but if I were to get one with, it would be covered by my insurance.

3) My band surgeon does my fills himself.

4) I don't really understand this question. Are you asking if he is banded himself.... no.

1) Florida

2) I was banded in Dalton,GA which would have covered the cost for 1yr...but moved to FL....so I pay $200 w/ Dr Grossbard in Zephyrhills

3) Surgeon

4) Yes he was banded

I need to know what kind of prices are quoted around the country. Please

include in your post:

1) Area of USA - Dallas, Texas

2) Price with and without fluoro - with $250, they don't do it without I made a $50 co-pay, insurance picked up the balance.

3) Type of Provider, (MD, APN etc) - don't know what APN stands for, my fill was done by a nurse practitioner

4) Is that provider a "bandster? - the doctor isn't but the nurse practitioner is

What is fluoro? I'm gussing you need the balloon filled with saline? If that's the case how often? Thanks
