Hi, I just recently discovered Blossom. In Vegas right? is the "fast track" really the price they say? I'm still waiting for them to contact me. Other places that have "fast track" have quoted me at 22k...cash only 😕

For me, yes. But it will depend on your insurance. I have United Healthcare PPO, which has horrible coverage for weightloss surgery which is why I went self pay. Blossom used my out of network coverage for some of the procedures(EGD; cardiac work up and hernia repair). I paid $6500 (there was a discount when I went) and that was it. It included the hotel and transportation to and from Airport and all appointments.

oh wow thats great to hear! I have Anthem Blue Cross PPO and Its about a years worth of hoop jumping for them to cover the procedure. When did you have your surgery? Were they able to schedule you quickly?

I had it done December 23, 2019. I was originally supposed to have it in November but my blood pressure was way out of control when I got there and so it got canceled and re-set. They do schedule quickly, although they may not be setting as many right now due to COVID. Your coordinator will go over everything with you. I had a great experience and am down 134 lbs so far!
