Mine was through insurance. We have BCBS Massachusetts... I only have to pay $1500 out of pocket and BCBS pays the rest. Dr Nicholson is a really great guy! Super awesome bedside manner, laid back and will crack jokes with you! It's the insurance ladies that could have a little bit better customer service so to speak. Just bad communication...but I'm dealing with it because Dr Nick is one of the best and I really like him. Good luck with yours!! :)

Won't bump into me there but maybe at Dr. Nicholson's office. I am on the 20th but Forest Park in Frisco. May not make us sleeve sisters but maybe cousins? lol! :D

Good luck to you, I think Dr. Nicholson is very good Dr. and we are in good hands!

My insurance e won't pay for mine either. There is a doctor in Vegas (Dr. Umbach) that does it. You can cash pay for $11k or finance for $12,500. I know 3 people who has gone to him and recommend him. My surgery date with him is March 1 and I live in CA. I meet with him on Thursday, the 28th, have surgery Friday. Go back to hotel to rest and recoup over weekend, see him for post op on Monday and get released to see my primary doctor 2 weeks later. Just a thought if you are having a hard time finding reasonably priced doctors in your area. Dr's here in So. Cal. Are charging $22k! Good luck!

      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.
