I feel a lot better knowing what to expect!!! Do you have to pay anything out of pocket at Baptist? I'm having to pay 1700 but that's my co insurance :/

Thanks

[geewalk 31]

I have to pay 250 to the hospital and 300 to Dr. Baker

We're yourself pay too?

[pretty-pink 43]

Self pay. I feel great!!! I had absolutely no nausea and very minimal pain (just the one incision where they pull the stomach out). Just moved up to full liquids. Protein Shake no problems, split pea Soup -too heavy. Down 30# so far! :-)

[pretty-pink 43]

Also meant to say -Dr Alvarez is wonderful!! The whole experience was fabulous! Felt very well taken care of and Dr A was not only clinically excellent, he is very kind and has a great personality! Trust me when I say that is a rare combination (I'm a RN in hospital setting).

I have a surgery date of May 6th. I have to do the 6 months dieting in order for my health insurance to pay for it. Those of you from the Little Rock area, who did you use for your psychologist?

I used behavioral health management in sherwood they were fast and it was an easy process. What dr are you using? Who is your insurance carrier?

[dl663 12]

Thanks I will give them a call. I have Health Advantage State/School Employee insurance. I am using Dr. Baker.

Would you mind tell me what Dr. you used at Behavioral Health Management?
