I have bcbs federal basic and my copayment for the hospital was 150.00 i was only in the hospital one day so the copayment covered it. but be careful i just received a bill for 7999.00 from someone that assisted in the OR that is apparently not in my network and I am giving this bill to my surgeon tomorrow when I go for my 7 week exam stating that I did not authorize anybody in the OR that was not covered by insurance considering I switched surgeons because the one I initally wanted was not in my network. I am sure the office will take care of it with insurance company and make sure that it is coded differently when it is rebilled to bcbs.
I was sleeved May 15th. I go for my one month follow up next week. The only problem I had was a slight allergic reaction at the incision sites from the internal sutures. Benadryl cream has worked wonders. To date I have lost 35 lbs although have not been on the scale in a little bit waiting til friday so I stick to once a week and don't get neurotic about it, lol.
