Fees not covered by insurance???



Recommended Posts

My best friend used the surgeon you are speaking of. She went from a size 26 to a size 4. Channel 46 news did a special on her & this Dr--he was the 1st to use the 1 incision method. The $2,000 he requires is for all the aftercare stuff. I checked into this Dr recently. He's great...BUT, I don't want to shell out $2,000 up front. I am very comfortable w/ the Dr I've chosen-who by the way, does not require up front fees. Best of luck to you!

I have to pay for half of my surgery my insurance only covers 50%. I have to pay 1058 prior to having surgery. I haven't even thought about the after appointments. I have to pay a specialist pay..

My doctor doesn't have any crazy fees like that.

I used Dr. Duncan and he doesn't have any program fees. I pay my copays for fills. I had my lapband placed on 04/05, I have lost 75lbs and over 55 inches. I am dong great - I checked into some of the other surgeons with those exorbitant fees and I decided to steer clear. I don't regret my decision at all.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
