Just got my balance for what my out of pocket will be for RNY. $595.00. That is not bad at all. $520.00 for the surgery and $75.00 for a year of nutritionist counseling with the dietician. Anthesiologist will of course bill separately. So maybe all together i may be out of pocket $1000.00 not to bad

My first hospital bill came in at 47k plus a bunch of others. The total is close to 50k but the insurance rate gets the bill closer to 30k. It looks like I will have about 2k out of pocket but they will be for both surgeries. (I had to have a stricture in my intestine fixed).

I am still not sure what I owe for the surgery itself. I get one bill telling me $35 from the doctors. That is if I read it correctly. Then online on UHC it says $176. I have not received anyone in the mail from my hospital yet showing that balance. Then I just gotta pay for all the other little things. Didn't turn out that bad overall.

I have UHC also, but how I know the total is from the surgeons office, they called me yesterday to tell me that I had to pay it when I come to my preop visit on the 20th, they said my out of pocket for the surgery is the 520, thats good I thought till I saw everyone elses lol. but i am so good with that

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
