Tentatively I havee may 23 scheduled for all preop testing and consults. June 12th is the tentative surg date. My insurance is crappy so i have to self pay. I found places in the U S where it can be done for 11,900. That includes everything. Even 2 weeks Optifast, 1 year of follow up, and minimal blis complication insurance. With my insurance in WV it was going to cost me 23,000. The clerk at dr rossi office did not even call my insurance. She just told me that self pay was 32,000 for doc and hosp not including tests and consults. My insurance only pays 10,000 max. My new doctor is 3 hours away but they work with u if u travel there to get apts and testing in one day.
My dtr wants me to schedule the end of june so she can take off so i may rearrange them. I also need to find out if i need to have surgery before i start my biologic med for rheumatoid disease.
