It cost me about $2,200.00 you can pay the day of your surgery or after or if you have to make payments to the hospital. But that all depends if you have no problems and don't have a long hospital stay. Sent from my BLU STUDIO 5.0 C HD using the BariatricPal App

Well everything is going great! I've lost 5 lbs since surgery and haven't had to take any pain medicine after coming home. I've been walking a lot and eating cream Soups. I haven't been getting my fluids or Proteins in but its getting better, I can't stand Protein shakes! Pain is very mild almost none existent. This has been the answer I've been looking for all my life. I'm getting antsy to start working out and shedding this old body. Sent from my BLU STUDIO 5.0 C HD using the BariatricPal App

It took me 2 1/2 months to get my date. They submitted it first to make sure I was offered coverage in my plan, and then they sent my papers in. The date was for late sept after being told it would be done in July or august! I raised crap and told them I couldn't wait that long my job wouldn't allow me off in our busy season, two days later I got a early sept date.

My wife and I have been together for 38 yrs. Last yr was our 30 wedding anniversary! We took a small trip and I was miserable the whole time, always hot and sweating. It was at that moment I made up my mind to get this done! I haven't looked back I want another 38 yrs with my best friend and love of my life. Look at the big picture and the cold feet will go away.
