? for Dr. Nick's patients....



Recommended Posts

For those of you who used insurance, did you pay anything up front before your surgery or did they bill you after? My deductible will be met after my sleep study in January, and then my insurance pays 80% until I meet my maximum out of pocket. How did this work for you? (Anyone not using Dr. Nick, feel free to share your experience as well!) I'm just trying to get all my ducks in a row!!

I'm using Dr. Barker and having surgery 3 weeks from today! My out of pocket is 2,000 in addition to the 500 deductible. I've met the deductible and 1/2 the out of pocket. Thus, when I went for my final consult last week I was expecting to be told that I would owe 1,000; however, they said that it was only 500. Mine is due two weeks before the surgery. Hope this helps, but it may depend on both your insurance policy as well as your surgeon's payment policy.

My doctor's office requires you to pay $400 up front. My ded. is $350, but $400 is their standard amount they make you pay.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
