Out of pocket here was $9800. I'm sure your bill was alot more than that. They always bill the insurance companies a ton more than if you pay cash. Not sure why.

I was self pay, no financing, straight cash, well cashiers check. My total was 9,988.00. That included everything and my first year of follow up. Maybe it just dpends where you live. I used trueresults and as far as i know their price is the same coast to coast for self pay. Im in the medical field, so after my first year, i plan to have someone trained to do my fills for me.

I did true results and had a hernia repaired. The band price was 5500

I also used True Results. They repaired a hyena which qualified me to have my insurance to pay half, so I had to do in house financing. My portion is $5500 as well.

My bill to insurance was 19,968.28$! I was very thankful I didn't have to fork out that much. My portion ended up being 1,400$

My insurance covered it, but self-pay would have been $17,000.

      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! 😞
