Can everyone please tell me the name of who you saw in NOVA / MD for your Psyc eval??? No one on my surgeon's list participates with my insurance, CareFirst, BlueChoice. I need to find another therapist quickly.

Thanks!

I think you have to pay for the psych eval. Gunn4ya was cheaper. Mine was either 200 or 250

I have CareFirst BlueChoice and I was told they don't cover the psych evaluation. I had to pay out of pocket. That's good you were able to find someone for $150.

The doctor I saw was recommended by my surgeon. Her name is Dr. Nancy Freta and she's in Vienna. I won't go into how much it cost but it was more than $150. She was really nice though. :rolleyes:

Loving-It,

I see you were banded by Dr. Pinnar. Do you mind me asking how much he ran since he is out of network with Blue Choice.

Thanks!

I was totally covered by insurance. I had a referral from my physician. The total cost was $9,000, with $40 of it not being covered by insurance but paid by me as co-pay.

Thats great. Insurance never ceases to amaze me. Can I ask you one more personal question...I am looking for a new PCP on the blue cares network. We switched insurance to CF, BC in March, and my old PCP is not in their network. I would love to get the name of a PCP that is not anti band/WLS.

Thanks!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
