Trying To Get An Idea Of How Much I Will Need To Pay For Gastric Sleeve Surgery
augustkiwi posted a topic in Insurance & Financing
I know i have a while before i get my approval and surgery date but I am the type of person who likes to have an idea of how much i may need to pay WAY ahead of time. I have cigna and its 90/10. So i know i will pay 10% until i reach my out of pocket maximum of 2000 (after my 300 deductible of course) so is it safe to say that all i really need to know is that im guaranteed to pay at most 2000? since thats what my insurance benefits are? thanks for you help -

Gastric Sleeve Surgery Time Tomorrow!
augustkiwi replied to Pammie's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
good luck with your surgery!!! -
thats so great! definitely ask if your pcp diet will count towards it! at first i only told my boyfriend, family and best friend but i told myself that everyone i know knows im overweight so why not tell them how im going to get rid of it its all a matter of preference and some prefer to keep it to themselves and i completely understand. besides this is for you and your health i havent met with the heart doctor yet but im calling my bariatric coordinator to see if thats next..the psychological eval was a breeze..in and out in less than an hour lol but i personally think i want to regularly see her so that i can get some issues of my chest and see if there was an underlying issue behind it all ya know.. anyway enough about me! LOL good luck to you and your best friend too! its always great to have someone close go thru it with you

WELCOME!! you are NOT alone. i have 191 pounds to lose and im in the 2nd month of this marathon....my insurance requires 6 months supervised diet so i have 4 more to go woohoo! its it exciting to know u are about to become a LOSER! i used to hate people calling me that in grade school or losing at a game or track meet in high school but now as an adult i want to lose big LOL. good luck and there is such a great support system here!

im making videos on my computer of my weight loss surgery; thinking about putting them on youtube..and i even updated my facebook status saying im going to do weight loss surgery..YIKES..i really am not ashamed about what im doing..everyone knows im overweight so why not let them know what im doing to get rid of it
wish i had more FB friends who were going thru the same thing..just for extra support -
