ShrinkyDinkMe22 376 Posted October 8, 2012 Was your performed at a dr office or hospital? I'm watching the charges roll Into my insurance the last week. I had mine at a hospital as out patient. It's almost 11k worth of charges so far! I think that's crazy! I was under for 8 minutes! My sis had one about a year or two ago at an office and I just found out hers was only 2k. I know I won't owe that 11k but a percentage. But to me that's still crazy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShrinkyDinkMe22 376 Posted October 8, 2012 No reason to be sorry . I'm just shocked at how much they are charging. Was curious if this is standard. No wonder out system is so screwed up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerseyGirl68 1,172 Posted October 8, 2012 I had mine done at a hospital also. Charges almost $10,000. They costs were higher as it was deemed "same day surgery" and all those same fee apply. My insurance has a maximum they pay but I thought it was an outrageous amount too. I wound up paying my surgical deductible then, so at least now I have no more to pay.

tallysfunny 363 Posted October 9, 2012 I had mine at an out-patient surgical center. Good news is...despite testing positive for H. Pylori and taking two weeks of meds, I am officially cleared by GI for my 11/20 sleeve date! Ugh. So stressed about that. 1 shellybee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
