Zacben how long ago did you go to ISU?

[zacben 10]

1989-1993 and loved every minute of it! Did u go to ISU?

[BryJohn 72]

I went for a few semesters but I got married and got a job.

Final appointment with Dr went great! Found out ill have no restrictions afterwards. I can do whatever I want as soon as I feel like it. The nut said keep up with the liver reduction diet. Also I will also only have one night stay in the hospital.

Well that is wonderful news congratulations!! I went to my first meeting last night to find out that private pay will be $28,000.00 it's made me a little discouraged. I was hoping for less than $15,000.00. I've seen on this site some people say they have had this surgery for $9000.00. So on to plan B, I'm now calling dr.'s in other areas and states.

[BryJohn 72]

Wow $28,000 ! Is your bmi to low or will your insurance not pay for surgery?

[zacben 10]

My insurance won't cover any weight loss surgery AND my bmi is 35 so I'm really close to that too. Do u know how much ur dr costs if u were private pay? This dr came from iu bariatrics

[BryJohn 72]

No I don't know the cost but I'm sure they are close in price.

Maybe you get gold staples instead of titanium.

[Hemlock99 6]

Yea, I'm having enough problems with them, that I wouldn't even chance it to ask, LOL!

[NewKristen 356]

Do you have insurance? Or will you be self pay?

[Hemlock99 6]

Yrs, I have insurance, but I'm getting such a run around I asked for a quote from all 3 hospitals in my area and that was my range. If I felt better bout it, I'd go to Mexico.

Not trying to spark any debate but it just angers me greatly that it has now been approved for Medicaid patients.
