Adjustable Gastric Band Adjustments (Fills)

Gastric Band Surgery With TLCEdge

TLCEdge welcomes your appointment at any of our convenient locations across the Dallas Ft. Worth Metroplex.

Of course if you are a TLCEdge cash or self pay patient your first adjustment (fill) is included in the price of your original program. Thereafter, TLCEdge provides fills for a very competitive cash fee – currently $100* for fills that do not utilize fluoroscopy and $150* for fills that do utilize fluoroscopy.

If your Gastric Band surgery at TLCEdge was covered by your insurance, your fills may be paid by your insurance provider as well and you may be responsible for only your normal insurance co-pay.

*These cash or self pay prices are discounted for full payment at the time of service and do not apply to to any charges submitted to insurance.

Gastric Band Surgery With Another Provider

We accept appointments for those of you who wish to join the world-class TLCEdge Surgical Weight Loss Aftercare Program - even if you have had LAP-BAND® or REALIZE™ Gastric Band surgery with another provider.

You may have relocated and be new to the area, had surgery in a foreign country, lost track of your original provider or would simply like to join a program where you can enjoy significant one-on-one interaction with trained bariatric professionals.

We ask that you provide us with a detailed medical and surgical history, undergo a physical examination with one of our experienced bariatric providers and allow us to establish a baseline barium swallow – to make certain that your band is properly placed and that we will be able to access your port.

Your insurance may cover the cost of the services required to become part of the TLCEdge Aftercare Program. Please contact a TLCEdge Care Coordinator with your insurance information.

For those of you who are cash or self pay patients, under most circumstances the cost of these services will be only $395*.

Once the history, physical examination and “barium swallow” are successfully completed and you may be accepted into the TLCEdge Aftercare program, then the cost of your fills will be the same as for those who had their Gastric Band procedure with TLCEdge. Currently those amounts are only $100* for fills that do not utilize fluoroscopy and $150* for fills that do utilize fluoroscopy - or the appropriate co-payment amount for those of you who have insurance that covers gastric band adjustments.

Revisional Surgery

If you have experienced poor weight loss, weight regain or complications from a prior bariatric procedure, TLCEdge also offers bariatric surgery revision to alter or repair the initial weight loss surgery.
