Dr. Helmuth Billy - They wanted me to put up 3,500 up front



Recommended Posts

HI there,

I really wanted Dr. Billy to do my lap band. I have great insurance but they still wanted me to put up 3500.00 up front and then told I could get it back from my insurance co. after my op. I dont understand why you wanted me to put up money when my insurance would pay 100%. i went somewhere else had it done and was really happy and have lost 15 pds in 3 weeks. i am very disappointed with Dr Billys offince......

I had a very different experience with Dr Billy and his staff. I found that his office staff always goes the extra mile to do the right thing for the patient.

As a doctor, I can't say enough about Dr. Billy. He is an incredible surgeon, but he is also completely committed too the success of his patients. This doctor loves what he does and is great at it. He is both passionate and compassionate. He is also on top of the latest research and trends and incorporates those into his practice. Dr. Billy has built a practice that focuses on after-care. He understands what it takes to help his patients be successful. The office staff is great too!

      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.
