Great thanks!

Did u have to pay for the surgery up front or did u get billed for it!

I had my 1st protein drink at 6am, which by far was better than any I have had before, called EAS Advantage chocolate fudge. I felt hungry about 10 so I went ahead and had my 2nd protein drink and in between has been lots of water. For lunch I had pot roast with all the veggies (this is what I am imagining my beef broth is, so don't get jealous...lol) Water with walmart brand MIO with melon flavor, yummy. I hope that doing it this way I will keep from getting too hungry. I do get to have a smart ones meal with less than 300 calories, less than 15g carbs, and more than 15g carbs. Hopefully it will be good for something to gnaw on. You guys keep in touch with me on this post so I can see how we all are doing if you don't mind.

So glad to hear you are doin ok! Keep us posted on your recovery!

I'm July 2nd also! Awesome!

My surgery is scheduled for July 2nd and I start my pre op diet tomorrow! I am so excited! I am ready to start my new healthier life!

Thanks y'all! I keep in touch throughout!

Thanks stephy! I spoke with several and I was Told by a lady in outpatient and registration that I would need to pay my deductible unless it is met and they may ask if I can pay anything up front and whatever I am able should be fine she said so hopefully so! I do have to pay the surgeon his 10% before surgery but as soon as they call I will post!

Great! I think this will help us tremendously!

Lacey that is my surgery date also! Is there a way where we can find each other for support on those days and compare pains haha

Lacey I start mine Monday as well and its for two weeks the first week I can have one meal under 300 cals 15 g of carbs or less and 15g of protein or more with two protein shakes a dAy and the second week with four protein shakes no food! I do like the comment someone left about imagining all we have been through for this and they can't do it because your liver is still too big because u cheated! It makes u think!

My paperwork was submitted June 4th to insurance bcbs of ma and receives approval from phone call from doctor on June 12th! Surgery is July 2nd, so excited! Honestly, I called the insurance everyday after the 5th. That sounds bad but I was so impatient about it lol they were really nice and now just nervous about what I have to give the hospital on the day of surgery because they have not called to tell me yet! I have 250 deductible but it's met and no copay and they will pay 90%. Anyone have any ideas?

I love the Mio but honestly like the taste of the Walmart brand better, no calories no sugar!

Did you have to pay the hospital up front before surgery or did they bill you?

I am feeling a little overwhelmed here. I am so excited about my surgery, which is on July 2nd. My concern is having to pay my out of pocket cost up front before you can have surgery, or do they just bill you and you can make arrangements then. Any ideas?

Submitted to insurance June 4th call from dr June 12th saying I was approved and my surgery is July 2nd! Yay! Do u know what u will have to pay up front to hospital?

Ok yes that's what I meant. My coinsurance is 10% so maybe it will be the same or less. Now just waitin on them to call to tell me thanks for your help!

I'm not sure! I will check when they call!

Is ur deductible met? What's your coinsurance percentage if u don't mind?

July 2nd! Waiting on them to call me to see how much I have to have up front! I will be devastated after all this time if I don't have it! Ugh

I was approved yesterday and my surgery date is July 2nd! So excited and after being stressed out waiting on approval now I'm stressed worried I won't have enough money for my up front costs! Ugh!

I have BCBS of MA also and my paperwork was submitted on June 4th and the dr called me yesterday and said I was approved! I'm so excited I have a surgery date but I am a little worried about how much money is due on surgery date! Anyone know with this insurance?

So glad to see you are doing well! It makes me feel better. My surgery date is July 2nd and I can't wait. I'm looking forward to the new me.

Thanks y'all!

Got my surgery date today and I am so excited! I was so worried that my insurance would not approve for some reason but they did! I start my preop diet Monday and I am praying for motivation!
