Hi! Most insurance companys will require you to be reffered to Bariatric Surgeon by your Primary Doctor. Next step go to a Learning Seminar with the Doctor/Doctors your Insurance will allow you to go to. Gina My Insurance is through the Military(Tri-care South Region) My Co-pay was $25 for required Endoscopy, $400 Program fee with Surgeons office, $12 for first consult appt with Surgeon, $98 required Nutrimed liquid diet required by my Surgeon, lastly I paid a whopping $25 to the Hospital where my Surgery was done. Hope this helps Gina I am on Facebook GinaCher1365@aol.com cell 318-990-1416 you can call, text if you want.

Hi. I am Gina I should have my surgery in August. Can you give me some meal/ recipe ideas/ I have a food saver, this sounds like a great idea. How are you portioning meals, what freezes well etc. GinaCher1365@aol.com . My surgeon wants me to do the Medifast diet the week before my surgery, it will cost me $98.wk.
