  1. I had surgery 11/21 and was only supposed to stay one night however it hurts so bad to eat or drink that they kept me another night. I am in extreme pain and everything makes me nauseous I have been prescribed tremidol and promenthazine but every time I even try and take the medicine I vomit. I’m struggling so hard with Water. I’m literally in tears everytime I throw up and beating myself up for even getting surgery


  2. Just to update everyone I had surgery today 11/21/18 and my doctor said everything went well however I am struggling to recover and get back to normal I was in extreme pain when I woke up and I feel like if I didn’t cheat those 2 times on my pre op diet I wouldn’t be in so much pain. Also drink as much Water as you can that is something I failed at and I’m paying for it now


  3. Thank you everyone for your guidance. I called the hospital on Wednesday to find out what I would owe and some one told me I would owe the deductible from my first insurance and they wouldn’t even touch my second insurance which sounded fishy to me because both insurances cover Bariatric surgery because I had to do the pre surgery program required by both insurances hence why it took me a whole year to get approved.

    so I went to the hospital which is 2 hours away I just couldn’t sleep at night not being truly prepared. The surgery registration said exactly what bluecrush said in the previous comment and that they can’t collect an accurate payment because of the two insurances so I don’t pay anything until after. The registration lady in person said The woman on the phone never pulled my account up she just told me that because people that don’t have 2 insurances have to make up deductible.


  4. Went for pre surgery testing on November 6th and surgery is scheduled for November 21st and no one from hospital has yet to reach out to me to say what I will need to pay before surgery. I have 2 different insurances one deductible is 2,900 and one is $750. At the pre surgery testing they did have me sit down with registeration but she just verified my insurance and employment. I am just about a week out and nervous about a surprise from the hospital after reading other people’s post. Should I reach out to the hospital? I wouldn’t even know where to start. Anyone like to share their experiences

  6. Does anyone have blue cross blue shield anthem health savings account insurance. I did some research turns out my insurance covers the procedure however I have a deductible of 2900 and a max out of pocket of 6500. Can everyone share your experiences with the hospital what were you required to pay day of surgery? Was it your full deductible? I asked my surgeon office but no one is really giving me a straight answer and I would like know what to plan for as I am 6 to 8 months out from having surgery. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
