That’s my hope! I don’t have any idea if I have sleep apnea or not, lol but I always assume when it comes to insurance and money whatever is the most expensive way for things to shake out, they will!

Oh my gosh, congrats!! My insurance is terrible, lol my husband had a sleep study done a year ago and all told it cost us $2400 with his CPAP. I have a $5k deductible so was planning on paying that for the surgery but while the sleep study applies to my deductible the CPAP doesn’t—so that’s just more $$$, sigh. Oh well, worth it in the end. And maybe I won’t need a CPAP machine, fingers crossed!

Also how are you doing and feeling now, 6 months past your surgery?

Hi again! Did you have to complete a sleep study for Dr Baranov or your insurance? I’m trying to figure out what costs I have to cover before my info seminar and sleep studies and CPAPs are crazy $$$. Thanks!

That’s so great to hear. He seems to get very high recommendations from former patients! My insurance has no pre op weight loss requirements (just one mtg with a nutritionist) so I’m hoping for a reasonable expectation from him lol. Thanks and I’m happy to hear you had such a great experience with him!

I’m in the very beginning stages of finding a place to have VSG done in the capital region. Does Dr Baranov require a specific pre op diet or certain amount of weight loss? Ellis requires 10%, which if I could do that...probably wouldn’t be getting the surgery. Congrats btw
