Surgical Revision Of A Gastric Band Port

Alabama rates for HCPCS 43886

An operation on the small access port that sits under the skin and connects by tubing to an adjustable weight-loss band around the stomach. The port is exposed through an incision and repaired or repositioned when it has flipped, shifted, leaked or become painful. Routine filling or emptying of the band through a needle is not this operation, and the band itself is left untouched.
