Anyone get there out of pocket cost yet?

Sent from my SM-N930T using the BariatricPal App

I haven't. Still waiting on a call from the 'business dept' from the hospital. So I'll put this out there cause it makes zero difference to me. My individual deductible is $600, Family Deductible is $1250. We have only met maybe $150 of the Family Deductible and $0 of my individual Deductible. However, my (individual) Deductible is waived since I chose a COE facility. That leaves me with 10% of the surgery (insurance covers 90%). So I'm waiting to hear what my 10% is going to be.

Everyone's will be different as well as different states/hospitals/physicians equals different rules... my surgeons fee is 20% since I have not met my pop cost as of yet 20% is $400 which has to be paid before my date was set... then there is a facility fee from the hospital which is also 20% or what is needed to complete my out of pocket cost...

yes, mine is the same 20% the lady said 850, I am just paying at least half. upfront..

Sent from my SM-N930T using the BariatricPal App

Mine is supposed to be 10%. So we shall see. I was supposed to get a call letting me know my part, but no one called. The number they gave me was never answered. I'm glad it worked out though

I was the same way. Moving at night REALLY made me aware of it. I wouldn't cough or sneeze, and I suffer from allergies pretty bad. Even when I wanted to laugh I would have to take it easy and breath through it. Now I'm 16 days out and I barely notice it. I thought the one closest to the band of my bra would give me more issues, but nope...it's the one I assume he pulled my stomach out of, almost in the center of my stomach.

You are doing great! Are you able to get all of your Protein and Water in?

yes yes yes!!! I ask my Dr about it. she said yes they pulled my stomach out of it and she stitched it twice one was my tissues and then my skin. so, pretty much it's the deep stitch that kills me...and drains my energy so bad... But thanks chickenchick I'm now waiting my 16days out to feel some what normal again!! how are you with Protein and Water intake?

So far so good. I do an Adkins right after my coffee (15g) then a Premier shake around lunch (30g) and I drink a Protein Water (20) between lunch and supper. Getting all the Protein and Water in is like a job I'm tracking everything on the MyPlate app.

Friday my schedule (provided by my surgeon and NUT) said I could have mashed potatoes, but my body said 'nope'. So I'm sticking to my cream of chicken and canned Soups. I've had homestyle chicken noodle and had a little bit of the noodles and carrots...but they are so soft it's easy to smash them on the roof of my mouth.

Any deviation of my schedule makes it hard to stay on track to get my protein and water in, so I'm trying to be vigilant. AND I think I may be going through the dreaded 3 week stall. Since Friday I gained 2.5lbs...but I haven't even eaten that many calories since my surgery so I don't even know how that's possible. I blame the mashed potatoes, I swear that's what I imagine a cleanse to be like. Who knows, maybe I'm retaining Fluid ('cause I DID suck on some sunflower seeds - my salt cravings are crazy. I sort of feel wasteful not eating the seeds, but I'm terrified after the mashed potato debacle).

Nonetheless I'm gonna keep trucking.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
