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.

There are a couple of surgical out patient places here that will do it, under fluoro, for $150 self-pay.

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.

With Fluro at the surgery center they are $150 (the first one is free), just at the Dr.'s office w/ no Fluro it is free for the first year.

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,

I had my surgery in Monterrey Mexico and although my fills are free for life there I prefer Dr. Trace Curry. It's a 11 hour round trip for me but worth every minute of it. I've had six fills with him and they are 150.00 each. He's in Cincinatti Ohio.
