Worried about hiatal hernia cost without insurance



Recommended Posts

Basically what my title says. I had some tests done to try to see if I had one, but there's no way of knowing for sure until they get in there.

Anyone know what a hiatal hernia repair without insurance costs?

I don't think anyone could answer the cost without insurance. Your surgeon would know the answer to your question. I didn't know I had a hiatal hernia until after surgery. I had insurance and was told that I had two surgeries for the price of one. Your surgeron may not charge you at all.

easier said then done, but try not to worry about something you may or may not have. i had no idea i had one until i woke up from surgery (i had to google it later to even see what a hernia was). i would ask your surgeon/insurance about the costs if that (happens).

My surgeon doesn't charge for it thank goodness. While his is in there he jut fixes it. They told me its a freebie

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
