Today, I had a consultation. I was asked personal questions about my medical history that are important to me and will be very important for the upcoming treatment. They listened carefully to what I had to say about my background. I was also given detailed information about the personal costs/cost coverage by my health insurance or financing. The consultation was very informative for me, and the conversation was very pleasant and friendly overall.
On Friday I had my gastric balloon inserted in Heidelberg - I was very nervous... but the team around Dr. Wichmann put me at ease and carried out the treatment very professionally
I felt very well advised, understood and in good hands. The doctor (Dr. Scheffel) responded to my wishes and expectations during my consultation and explained everything well and plausibly.
I really liked the advice. What works, what doesn't. The risks were also pointed out. There was no pressure. All questions were answered and there was no time pressure.
I am still very interested.
But it says on the website that you would write to the health insurance companies. After the consultation yesterday I was told that I have to do it myself.
That is misleading.
