How much does your doc charge for fills under fluoroscopy?



Recommended Posts

I know the price will probably vary but I'm just looking for a range. My doctor doesn't use fluoro unless HE thinks there is a problem. I had my surgery 6 months ago today and I think I would like to have my next fill done with fluoro just to make sure everything looks good. My normal fills are free for the first year so I'm just hoping to get some price ranges so I'll be prepared for the cost. Thanks in advance!!

I havent been banded yet, (April) but I do know that my surgeon will charge $150.00 for fluro after my first 6 months. Without fluro it is 100.00.

Hope this helps!

mine doesn't use it and doesn't seem to need it, at least with me anyway. The man is a wizard.

:tt1:$0, My Dr. charges a flat rate for the surgery and it includes all fills with flouroscopy including emergency unfills (like in the middle of the night, you have the flu and start puking), all pre surgery testing and the pre surgery diet

(:sad:optifast, yuck!). He also includes any surgical needs (related to the band, of course!) during the first year or two years, I'd have to look at my paperwork.

I am having some challenages. i should have gone in sooner. I am unsure if I dont just have the will power yet to eat slower or smaller bites. I have a odd thing almost feels as if my food backs up in my chest..then I pb and sometimes throw up. I am going in tomorow.. Unsure if I am got tight or need to work on it more. Does all doctors have the may to fill with the xrays..?/ Any advise would be great

From what I understand the Doc I see in Conroe, TX charges $75 for a fill for self pay. Now I do not know if that is for his surgical patients only or if that includes new fill patients. www.texasgastricbanding.com

Good Luck!!:crying:

I had my second fill today. The first fill was fine, the second had to be done with the fluoroscope. I'm insisting that the next few fills be done with the fluoroscope. My doctor doesn't charge for any fills.

My insurance pays for 4 fills this first year, I don't know how many after that. I just had my 4th fill today and I checked on the cash price for the rest of this year

$325 if I needed Fluro

$125 in the office

I got the fluro the first time and haven't needed it since.

My Fills are done under Fluro each time I get a fill and it cost me 50$(BCBS Insurance) a fill..I just got my 3rd fill on 6/9/09..I am glad my doctor does it under fluro..That way he knows that the needle is inserted properly into the port area..Plus it makes me feel comfortable as well knowing its done right.. :rolleyes:

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
