I am looking at a June surgery date. One thing though...my clinic has not told me if I will have to pay anything! I know my insurance is 80/20 after my 2k deductible...but I am gonna need to know when I will need to pay this and at the end, how much?

How does this all work?

Hi, I usually only deal with the self pay patient. However I would guess you need to have your deductable ready as well as you 20 percent at the time of surgery. Just a guess. Can I ask how much this surgery is in total?

i had surgery 2/28...my ins pays 90%...i didn't need to pay...they will send me a bill once the insurance pays their part. Is it the Docs office or the hospital that bills you? for me it's the hospital so the docs office refferred me to them. When i contacted them they said once the ins pays and I get the bill that I can call them back and set up a payment plan for 10 months...So i would say call, you never know what they'll say!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
