Has anyone had their surgery with Dr Roshek? He is with Nicholson clinic in Plano. I've tried searching for his patients and have found only three. I'm sure he has had to do more then just that. Would love to hear experiences. I have a date on the 21st. Was going to go with Dr Nick but he got booked up.

Oh wow. What plan do you have?

Is that you specific plans deductible? I have BCBSTX as well. I have a $2000 deductible. I've met my deductible so now the actual surgery part is a little over $800 that I have to pay.

Okay I just called! ???? it got to them yesterday on the 4th not the 3rd like my caseworker said (may have been late in the day when she sent it) so it hasn't been sent to review yet. ???? I asked her how long it usually takes and she said 7-10 business days. I've seen so many people on here say it only took like 3 days! I guess I will give it til Wed and check again. Have you gotten your approval or are you still waiting?

I have an account. Where in there did you go to find out? When was your info sent in? I don't want to be too pushy. It's taken all I have to restrain myself from calling!

I've read here that people have found out the were approved for surgery before they got their letter in the mail. How do you find out? Mine was sent off November 3rd so it's only been a couple days. I'm in a time crunch to get it done before the end of the year because I'm switching insurance and new insurance doesn't cover WLS.

Looking for Houston area surgeons. Please give me your experience, what they required if they required anything other than what insurance required, and what your time frame was. I am on a time crunch to get surgery completed by the end of the year. My insurance got deactivated and won't be reinstated until the end of October. Husbands company is changing insurance at the first of the year and will not cover Bariatric surgery. I've started the process with Dr. Nicholson's office in Plano but may have to switch. When insurance is reinstated I will have had my psych, my EGD, and my nutrition visit (that was required by Dr. Nicholson office) and sleep study.

I went through the Nicholson clinic and had UHC which my plan excluded any WLS so I went the hernia route. Insurance pays to repair the hernia and while the doctor is in there he does the sleeve which cost me 4000 dollars out of pocket but my bmi was to high for them to do it out patient so it was done at forest park hosital in Dallas my wife also had hers done but she was able to go through True Results in Plano and have it done outpatient she has UHC also and the financed the sleeve. Dr Rosek done both of our surgeries. Wanted to find out your experience with dr rosnek? I had planned to go with Nicholson but I may have to switch doctors due to available appointments.

Thank you! Trying to stay positive but knowing I was less then a week away from a surgery date kind of stinks!

How does that work?

My husband informed me today that his company sold to another company and our insurance is switching and my deductible is starting over. I had BCBS of Texas. My deductible was met and I was almost done with everything to be submitted to insurance. I am so frustrated and feel defeated. I don't know what plan we will have yet so I don't know if WLS will be covered or not. If you have UHC can you tell me what plan you had, if it was covered and what the requirements were? Also if you had UHC and used Dr. Nicholson in Plano that would be a plus since that was who I've started my process with.

Can't figure out how to delete the post??

What is the cost with in network doing it hiatal hernia route? I have BCBS Tx and they said my part would be like $2,800 because I hadn't met my $2,000 deductible at the time of consult. I mentioned hiatal hernia route and they said it would add an extra $4,000 or so to the total. This is with the Nicholson Clinic

What made them go the hiatal hernia route? Was this found during the EGD?
