Talking Great News


I found a surgeon well my aunt works for him and she was talking to him and
told him my story about my sucky insurance. My parents had Dr Kwon do their
surgeries too

Won't you still have to pay for the operating room, assistants, anethesiologist (sp), and hospital? I remember a post here saying WLS for her was $88,000 (I think the average is more like $35,000)... surgeon's fee was only $4,000....

Default Lucky you I am in envy of you

Wow how lucky you are to get it free, it is going to take me the next 3 years to pay for my op I couldnt believe that it cost £7.450 and you only get after care for 1 years and any top ups are £150 after that.

I wish you well and at least that will be one worry you will never have after the op the monet aspect of it.

Take care And I hope all goes well for you

Tooney, that was me... good ole $88,000 of a bill that I have racked up so far, oh and Im not done racking it up. Everytime I go see the dr and all the labs and everything else that she can think of, its crazyness. But thank god for my insurance outta pocket I have payed $16.00 total.
