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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
