Hi,

I'm new to the forum's. I will be going through True Results in Richardson tx. I've been told my insurance will pay all but my co-insurance ( which amounts to about $2500). Is this typical?

Thx,

Jw

depends on your insurance. Mine paid for all but 15%. So I'll pay $2,000 when its all said and done.

Mine would not pay, I went the self-pay way.

I got my band with True Results in Ft. Worth/Hurst.

Good luck, and you've taken a good step by coming here, this site is amazing!

I also went the self paid way. Everything for $10,500.00, including the first year of visits. My insurance doesn't cover it since my employer has an exclusion for this type of surgery.

whats funny is that they'll benefit from you getting the surgery...because your health will improve and you'll use the insurance less and could end up making their insurance cheaper.

      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.
