Dr. McAllister, at Tallgrass. Surgery took place at St. Francis Hospital. Wonderful doctor, loved St. Francis.

Good to see a Tallgrass person here. My doctor will be Dr. Hamilton. Waiting on insurance approval now. Started this long process last April but wanted to change insurance before surgery. Was federal BCBS standard, now basic thanks to these forums saying it was the better way to go. Not sure of cost yet but will know soon hopefully.

Dr office doesn't know yet but I have been approved by insurance. Asked insurance about out of pocket costs and it's $400 total, if 2 day stay in hospital 100 less if one day. Fed basic bcbs at a bcbs center of excellence. 200 for surgeon 100 per day for inpatient

Needless to say I can't wait for Dr office to schedule my surgery. Insurance said they had a rough date of 1Apr16!

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
