Self pay question

I have insurance, but it doesnt cover the band. So I am going to be self pay and I have my consultation on January 18th. I am SOOO excited/anxious/nervous but I really don't know what to expect. When you are self pay, what is the "turn around time" from the consult visit to the surgery? What kinds of pre-surgery hoops will I have to jump through? Any info is appreciated!!

  • I was self pay .. It was less than 2 months from initial consult to surgery. I had to do a psych eval, meet with nutritionist, get blood work and do a two week liquid diet....

  • Self pay and 4 weeks from consultation to surgery...although I could have had the surgery earlier...2 weeks instead of 4...I didn't want to rush right in

  • I was self pay and so my doctor only required a letter from my doctor saying i was ok to have surgery and a meeting with a nutritionist and then preop bloodwork. I did not have to do the psych eval.

6 nut/fill appointments comes out to $260 for uninsured patients(I think it includes barium too). This is at True Results San Antonio, I don't know if it is different pricing for people that got the band elsewhere, but I can't imagine going anywhere else.... The office staff, nurses, nutritionalist all take such great care of you.
