Nancy’s Medical Journey
A few years ago, Nancy found herself battlingcontinual weight gain that had started in middle school and persisted into her adult life. She knew she was a good candidate for weight-loss surgery, something she strongly desired, but the associated financial burden seemed insurmountable. Although she was only 28 at the time, her weight-related narcolepsy and sleep apnea required medication and a CPAP machine, thus adding to her health woes.
Then a turning point. One day in 2021, Nancy’s husband, an employee at Mercedes, told her about Curaechoice. By April of 2023, Nancy had embarked on a transformative journey towards health through gastric bypass surgery. Best of all: Everything was facilitated – and paid for - by Curaechoice. The idea of surgery seemed too good to be true, but with each consultation and pre-operative procedure, covered completely by Curaechoice, Nancy’s skepticism began to fall away. A rigorous check-in and weight monitoring process, coupled with a crucial ‘swallow test’, lead up to the surgery. By January 2023, Nancy was on the operating table. The entire process, remarkably, cost her and her husband nothing out of pocket thanks to Curaechoice.
The results were nothing short of a miracle. Nancy shed 70 pounds and her health problems dissipated. Her narcolepsy and sleep apnea were gone, eliminating the need for medication or machines. With the weight loss, her sleep improved significantly, and her constant exhaustion was now in the past. When she experienced some back pain post surgery, Curaechoice stepped in again, covering her physical therapy costs.
Today, Nancy’s weight-loss journey continues, with her so far dropping from 333 pounds to 262 pounds. “So far I have lost 70 pounds and I don’t have any more weight-related health problems. My sleep apnea had been a big part of my life and now I don’t even use the CPAP machine. And when you can’t sleep at night you can’t function due to exhaustion. Today I am rested and no longer fatigued all the time.”
Her proactive decision to have the surgery was crucial, she says, considering her family’s history of heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Without a doubt, she says, the surgery and the subsequent weight loss, have significantly reduced her risk of developing these health conditions. Before Curaechoice, the exorbitant cost of healthcare was a constant concern for Nancy. Now, through the program, she and her family have a financial safety net. They can all finally access needed healthcare without worrying about the cost.
I’ve so far lost over 70 pounds and I could not have done this without the life-saving surgery paid for by Curaechoice.
Coverage & Satisfaction
She also says she found Curaechoice’s customer service to be unparalleled, especially compared to her experiences with other insurance companies at her job as a receptionist in a dental office. Unlike her experience with other providers, she was always met with prompt responses and solutions - and no runarounds.
In terms of cost savings: without Curaechoice, Nancy’s surgery would have cost between $10,000 and $13,000. But instead Curaechoice covered all costs, including her pre and post-operative care, her consultations, the surgery itself, and even her post-surgical therapy. Nancy’s transformation has not just been physical, but also psychological.
Her confidence has soared, her outlook on life has changed for the better, and she has become a more active participant in her own life. “I have more energy on a daily basis within my daily life. Before my surgery, at the end of my work day, I could barely walk up the stairs to our house. Now I have enough energy to cook, clean and play with my toddler. As far as exercise, I walk daily now. Before my surgery I didn’t do any physical activity.”
With Curaechoice, I got immediate responses via email and customer support was always friendly and kind. There was no ‘I can’t help you with that let me find someone who can.’ Instead, I always got what I needed right away.
