I have healthplan of Nevada and an $11,000 copay. :( I'm approved for the surgery but can't afford it. I got denied for financing with CareOne. I have sleep apnea, high blood pressure, borderline diabetes and anemia. I don't know what to do anymore, any one have this insurance?

I am in the same boat you are in. My doctor on Monday, however, hinted that HPN's PPO service (Sierra Health of NV) "MAY" begin to cover more of the bariatric procedures after October. He said to call around and check in October when the renewals start. He quoted anywhere from "2500-6000" out of pocket. Compared to the 11K that it is now, it is definitely more doable.

Good luck!! I will definitely let those on here know when I know more!! :)

In the mean time, I'm going to start saving some cash!! :)

Hi Millalove, I just saw your post and wanted to say that I ended up going with United Medical Credit. I found their rates and overal procedure to be very easy to manage and work with. I hope everything worked out with you!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
