HELP!! Not covered by ins. self pay



Recommended Posts

It was awesome. My insurance paid for a hernia repair and I paid for the Lapland (5500) my payments are 190 a month for 3 years. That includes 12 months of fills and aftercare also. Like I said no credit check at all. They have you apply for care credit but if you are denied. They. Finance you no questions asked

Did you have to pay any money upfront?

Just my insurance deductible at the surgery center. It was easy and I had surgery 1 month after I decided to do it. Could have been sooner but I couldn't get the time off work

I'm scheduled for Thursday to have surgery. The lady isn't answering my questions quickly enough... All I've paid so far is $25. I just don't want any financial surprises come Thursday.

I

My insurance paid for the ECG and my understanding is that it will also pay for the hernia repair. My out of pocket is $5500.

Do you have a preop approach at truresults next week? they should finalize it then. If you are insurance pay I would assume they will collect your deductible whatever it is at the surgery center. Mine was 200 you Can find out your deductible on your insurance card.

What is a preop approach? I'm supposed to have surgery to get the band in.

That is weird. I had to go to a pre operative appointment before surgery.

They scheduled both of my appointments during my first consult.

I understand. Well if your insurance paid for your ecg you shouldn't have to pay anything. They collected my deductible at the surgery center the day I had my ecg. I think you'll be good. Good luck to you!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
