Complication insurance for private pays!!!



Recommended Posts

I looked into Bliss last night. Looks like it covers surgery re-do's, but my surgeon isn't enrolled. It's pretty expensvie too. The comlication insurance is cheap and is kind of like a life insurance policy but pays if an accident were to happen. The payout goes as high as $300k for around $100. My husband and I talked about it and once I get my surgery date, we re getting a policy. What's another $100 is what my husband said.

@ GeorgieGirl1957: I called Jason at the complication insurance company last night. He's on the east coast, so it was around 9o'clock his time and he picked up! Apparently his phone routes to his house because I heard his baby in the background. He was very nice and very informative. He didn't mind taking time to answer all my questions. Especially on his time with his family. Just great customer service!

Yes, I really liked dealing with Jason. From what I saw of the product, I liked it, but like I said, since I cancelled mine and went to Mexico instead, I really don't feel like I can comment on the product itself except to say had I gone through with the surgery here in the US, I would have definitely kept the policy. Yes, I agree, it's $100 well spent for the peace of mind. A serious complication might have bankrupted me as I have no job, no insurance and a new business that is struggling to build a client base.

      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.
