Hey Ladies, Im in Atlanta too. Which Surgeon are you using? Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Oh okay. Thank you so much for clearing that up.☺☺ Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

No, what is your coinsurance??? After you pay the 500 to your doctor, you'll pay what every your coinsurance is up to your out of pocket max after the deductible has been met. You can find out if your hospital will bill you so you can make payments on it. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App So I found out that 2000 is already given to us by the employer so I'll only be responsible for 500 Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App What is coinsurance? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App The percentage of what you pay and what your insurance will pay. Example: a silver plan is a 30/70 plan, Meaning, the beneficiary pay 30% after their deductible has been met and the insurance plan pays 70% Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App Oh okay the lady said it's 80/20 so does that mean the insurance pays 80 of the out of pocket? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Yes and you'll be responsible for 20% Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App Is that 20% of the maximum out of pocket? Example: My maximum out of pocket is $1000, is it 20% of that? Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

Very sad and scary. I would never go to a Docter with poor reviews. Ijs. Be careful guys and do your research.

Ditto Beagle Lover

How are you doing?

Rocky...Are you taking your own meds?

Rocky, do you know how many incisions Dr. Corvala makes for the VSG?

4/24 but considering an earlier date.

Okay. Thanks to you.

Hi Giggleblue...who was you surgeon? Dr. Corvala will be my surgeon but it may help someone else who hasn't decided on a doc yet?

Scary.

Vgb. ..I'm assuming that was with insurance,right?

Prayers go up for you!

Exactly. Top credentials, the best in my opinion. Good luck to you, see you on the other side...

Yes. Rocky..im leaning more towards Corvala as well.

Sorry and thanks everyone for you contribution to this topic. I've been really busy traveling for work. Looks like MrsSlim has been consistently following the topic. I still haven't made my decision but after all the food I ate for the holidays,I'm back on track. Lol. I'm leaning towards Dr. Corvola or Dr. Nicholson. Anyways, good luck to everyone!

Ladies, How much was your surgery with Dr. Garcia?

Good luck on your surgery ladies. How much is the sleeve with Dr. Garcia ??
