Had gastruc sleeve 6 months ago. Operation went well; hospital care good. You will not see dr after 3rd day of surgery. After that it is nurses, dieticians, exercise specialists. After 3rd month, you are on your own. They charged me out of pocket almost $18k for the surgery and that is to cover everything else. My ins would not cover procedure. I had a lab bill for $1360 that was not covered by ins and they were suppose to cover. The office mgr was to check on it but never did or contact me back. I had to pay it before it went into collections. She also charged me $579 for BLS insurance BUT I NEVER got a receipt or acknowledgment from BLS that I was covered. After multi phone calls and emails this office mgr NEVER called me back or emailed me back. It is SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED. There is no real followup either. You are on YOUR OWN! I would not have had surgery had I known what I know now. I recommend that you visit other weight loss before you go to this one. It's all about the $!!!!!
