I am a patient of Dr. Moran's and have new insurance that does not cover my fills.  He wants $515 for a fill!!!!!!!!!!!  Does anybody have this same experience?  My fills have always gone very well with no trouble ever finding the port.  This is crazy.  I have a band that is of not much use right now.

Go online and look at fill centers USA and see if they are anywhere close to you. There is one on the east cost of NC. Not sure where.

They should be cheaper.

Tamara,
Thank you for the info.  I appreciate people who leave a helpful answer rather than a "it sucks to be you" comment.

I have heard of this and I knew there was a good chance that my insurance was going to stop covering them.  I was lucky enough to find this out before surgery.  I got the rny instead.  I am sorry for your troubles.  that stinks.
