I just had my surgery on Tuesday. Got out today. The paper they gave me said 48K. $ was the cost of surgery

For bypass or sleeve? That was what the insurance paid or self pay? Seems like so much!

No kidding. I was quoted $18K here in the states. You are paying insurance company rates. I self pay everything, and get everything much cheaper.

I was assuming that was what the insurance paid out on her behalf. It is definitely a lower price if you are paying out of pocket, but insurance will cover almost all of it if they pay.

I looked in to Dr Snow, my only concern is that he doesn't offer the aftercare insurance. I'm talking to Dr Richardson now because they offer 90 days post op insurance and I'm scared that if I had to be admitted for a complication I'd end up in crazy amounts of medical debt. Since my insurance isn't covering the surgery they won't cover any post op problems.

      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.
