For those that had to pay a coinsurance, was that due before surgery or was it billed to you? I know a lot of companies vary so I'm just trying to get an idea of what to expect. I'll ask about it at my next appointment. Thanks!

I paid ahead of time, but ended up paying too much and was refunded by the hospital.

A lot of times, they will have you pay your deductible up front but not the co-ins.

I had already met my deductible by time of surgery but not yet hit out of pocket and did have to pay my estimated co-insurance which was overpaid (as the dr ended up filing before the hospital) and I had to get refund from the hospital.

Me too. My deductible should be met by the time I'm ready for surgery and I have no co pay so nothing up front would be awesome!

I've already met my deductible. Coinsurance should also be met by the time of surgery. I'm getting bills up to wazoo Lol but nothing required upfront.

I found out that it will be billed to me and then I'll make an arrangement with the hospital. Thank goodness!

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
