what is the price you pay here in the states for fills ?

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
