I'm trying to find information or anyone else who had this problem: insurance coverage, AND the surgeon had an assistant in the OR while I was under & never told me about this. Now I'm being billed for over $5,000.00.I'm happy with the surgery, I lost 40 lbs. but I was told by the surgeon this procedure was covered meanwhile the anesthesiologist didn't take my plan as well. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated on this matter. Thank you!

i went on a 2 week pre-op diet & lost weight but it wasn't so much that it was cancelled.It was only 10 lbs. & they (the Drs.) must know that's going to happen with soft food & clear liquid intake. That's mandatory.
