No surgery yet, they just threw a 6 month diet and exercise requirement at me 4 months after telling me it wasn't a requirement. I was all set for surgery this month too. Now I need to meet my deductible all over again.

I guess you really wouldnt know the answer I need. my surgery date is Dec 31st 2012, the surgeon bills the insurance the same day as the surgery, I have met all my deductibles this year but now I am afraid it will mess me up. surgeons office doesnt think it will, but yet I think i am going to be screwed and have to start my deductible all over again

I have UHC. I had my surgery Nov. 2nd. I don't understand it too much. My mom and I called in and she asked them questions to better understand everything with the billing. I think that is the best thing you can do!

ok so I called them, my deductible is paid, so now we are at 80/20, but my question is how would they bill me. I was afraid since the surgery was on 12/31/12 i would get screwed out of my deductible.

the surgeons intake person that handles all the insurance stuff said that she bills the insurance same day as the surgery. I should only be in the hospital over night an out on January 1st,

the MY UNC told me that if they bill on december 31st that my insurance will cover for 2012. but if I have to stay in the hospital january 1st 2013 at night to january 2nd then my insurance will split pay for surgery on 2012 pay for exyended stay in hospital 2013, so I think I will be ok.

      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?

      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.
