So, I'm turning 26 soon and I need to get new insurance. One of the biggest factors in my choice is trying to figure the best options for me getting vsg. So I was considering getting Kaiser's Detuctible Silver HMO 1750/40. I was wondering if any of you had this and knew the cost involved. Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thank you for reading.

Hi,

I am unsure of that plan but I know for the platinum plan the online estimate says $290 total cost. I think the best thing you could do is call and ask them. I went with the platinum so I could save as much money as possible. The surgery itself can cost up to $60k completely out of pocket. That doesn't count all of the doctors visits required before and after either... I am also in California, but Nor Cal, I don't think there's a difference though.

Hopefully that helps!

      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.

        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.

      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!
