October Sleevers?
Sydney Little Merlette replied to Anewlife2live's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved on the 22nd. I'm only now feeling more human and actually showered! Lots of nausea and hunger!!! I wasn't really prepared for how hungry I would be. I am so glad to hear people doing well with no problems but I am struggling some. How are people getting their Protein (since I know this is what will help the hunger) without Protein shakes. My surgeon doesn't want us using them. Thanks and congrats to all who are doing well. -
Asking all you post sleevers: What do you wish you had known or done before surgery?

I'm having my sleeve done on the 22nd of this month. What would you tell me is important for me to know or things you have learned post surgery? Feeling a little overwhelmed! Thanks! -

For you all that state they wished they had addressed the emotional issues before surgery. Did you have to have a psychological eval before surgery and did they address this during it? Thanks! -
Money out of pocket day of procedure
Sydney Little Merlette replied to zcortes21's topic in Insurance & Financing
I have BCBS Federal and after my deb has been met (which it has) they pay 85% leaving my co-insurance15% just like any doctor visit. That 15% equals aprox $750 left for me to cover. My surgeon's office wants that money upfront paid in full before surgery. Also, my copay for the hospital is $250 which the hospital will bill me for. It's not uncommon for surgeon's officers to request payment of your co-insurance up front. -
