I paid about $50 in doctor appointment co pays. My insurance covered everything else 100%. They billed my insurance company 48,000 but the insurance company only paid out about 7,000.
I too have a great insurance plan. From my first visit until the time I got sleeved was only a little over a month. I am 2 weeks post op now. Good luck, I hope everything goes smoothly.
Good luck. Just try not to think about what they're going to be doing while you're under. Think about what comes after. Helped a lot. Sleeves May 6 th.
My doc said 1 week. Not because I would be unable to drive, but because if there was an accident and your steering wheel and air bag hit your stomach it could cause serious damage to your surgery.
I am 10 days out and feel almost completely normal. The first 3 days were the worst for me and it wasn't really pain, it was the anesthesia. Just make me feel sick.
