Ok. That's what he said $600.00 but everything else was covered. I already had two required appt scheduled for this month. Dr. Patel was so nice and went over everything. His staff was very nice as well. I just wish I would of done this sooner because I do all the running around with my children for sports.

Did you have to fast for pre op?

Yes I did but truthfully I got to wear the liquid diet was not bad I never felt hungry. So the 12 hours before surget was no big deal I recommend premier Protein shake a when they start your pre diet it's important to loose as much as possible before surgery so that the liver is smaller

I do have a fatty liver so I know I probably will have to fast also. Did you have to do a sleep study?

@ Mrs Bailey

Do you have to pay any fees with your insurance ?

Hey all! Getting closer to the big day. Just curious, how long did it take to get the approval?

Who did everyone use for nutrition and psyc

[Ariellestarr 53]

I used Dr Felix Geller for psyche. Had to pay because HNJH doesn't cover psyche. My nutritionist was Dr Fried. He's covered under HNJH, but didn't really give me any info regarding nutrition. I am now three days post op. Feeling ok. It was pretty easy to get approved. I think I might be the only one that checks this forum now. I'm answering my own questions!

How much did you pay

How much did you pay

It was $300, but that was my only out of pocket expense

[jessicarage 3]

The cheapest I found was 200. I think I'll go with that

[Angelkeeper4 69]

Where is that one located? ?
