I'm new. I've been looking into receiving the lap band from true results. I have Cigna insurance and my deductible is 500 and they cover 70% :) so excited but still not sure how much out if pocket I will have to pay. I'm sure they will work out payment plan but I'm not sure. I need 3 more appointments for insurance reasons

Ask the surgery center to calculate the costs for you up front. Last September, I was hit with a $4000 bill 3 days before the surgery for various expenses the insurance would not cover. I had to postpone the surgery until this month because I didn't have the money. So do this beforehand.

Thank you to all that responded. I'm so excited but want to make sure I'm ready financially. I'm happy my Cigna insurance covers 70% but I know I will have to pay for all extras

Thank you. I want this surgery do bad,but want to make sure I'm financially ready for it. My insurance covers 70% but I'm hearing a lot of feedback on how much I will have to pay. How much up front? If I can make payment. True results is where I'm going. They are sending a study kit fed ex tomorrow. It's to check for sleep apnea ??

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
