I just got off of the phone with my doctor's office. I am approved!! Surgery date could be within 30 days. I am happy but terrified now. All of the what if's going crazy in my mind. Is this normal???

Sorry i posted this on the wrong conversation!

I have Anthem BC as well. I was also told i didn't need the six month diet. I am going to a seminar that is required by the doctor and will find out all of the doctor's requirements then. Each doctor seems to have their own policy for requirements. Hope that helps some. Good luck!

I have been wanting to ask this same questions. My mind is wondering all the time will I be the only one that doesn't lose a pound. Thanks for asking the question!

There seems to be such a wide range of prices. I guess I will have to keep looking for another surgeon. I thought 20,000 would be plenty. But I am feeling like I am at the beginning again. I am disappointed but won't give up yet.
-
That sounds like a really good deal!
-
Thanks for sharing. I am so confused though. My insurance covers up to 20,000. I spoke with my doctors office and was told I would have to pay 8000 out of pocket even though the surgery only cost 20,000. I guess i should call again to clarify because that doesn't add up to me.
-
Thanks for the replies. Are these prices with insurance or self pay?
-
I am just curious what everyone was paying for their surgery. I have seen such a wide variety of cost from 10,000 to 65,000. I know those that pay out of pocket are less expensive. I am just wondering if there are large regional differences. But I am going through Anthem Blue Cross and live in Colorado. Thanks for sharing.
