So what was your out of pocket costs for VSG



Recommended Posts

I am curious to know what your total out of pocket expense was for your VSG surgery after your insurance policy paid up.

I myself did self pay for $5000 plus another $500 or so for travel and lodging. I did not pursue insurance because I did not want to wait for approval, my health was declining fast.

My insurance had a $750 deductible and $750 out of pocket then it covered 100%. My deductible was meet with prior doctor's visits, sleep study. I met the out of pocket with the surgery. This year the deductible increased to $1700.

      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.
