So, I'm turning 26 soon and I need to get new insurance. One of the biggest factors in my choice is trying to figure the best options for me getting vsg. So I was considering getting Kaiser's Detuctible Silver HMO 1750/40. I was wondering if any of you had this and knew the cost involved. Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thank you for reading.

Hi,

I am unsure of that plan but I know for the platinum plan the online estimate says $290 total cost. I think the best thing you could do is call and ask them. I went with the platinum so I could save as much money as possible. The surgery itself can cost up to $60k completely out of pocket. That doesn't count all of the doctors visits required before and after either... I am also in California, but Nor Cal, I don't think there's a difference though.

Hopefully that helps!

      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.
