Anyone pay out of pocket?



Recommended Posts

I, too, paid out of pocket. June of 07, yes 1 year now.

Mine was all inclusive at $7,000.

Interested in knowing who did the surgery and where he is. It sounds like you are very satisfied. Thanks for any input you might have.

My BMI was low as well, but I had high BP, backaches, high cholesterol and other problems, so easy to OK my surgery. Didn't even try to go through my insurance, too much red tape. Cost was $13,600 which includes all visits and fills for a year (Salt Lake City, UT). I've lost 48 lbs. in about a year, but only 9 more to go. Very slow for me but I've carried this weight around for 30 years now, and enough was enough!

I had a BMI of 33 and paid $15,000 totally out of pocket. The results have been a little slower than I had hoped, but hopefully it will be worth it. My main concern is keeping the weight off after I lose it. I was tired of starting over. I say take out a loan and do it.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
