Any one else have fep blue cross blue shield?

This is what i was told by my doctors office. Any out of pocket costs would be limited to your copay, deductible and coinsurance amounts, along with any annual out of pocket maximum limitations that may apply, as dictated by your plan. Attached is the benefit summary for Federal BCBS. General benefit information begins on page 31 and benefits for surgery begins on page 53.

I have fep blue cross blue shield and I was wondering what my out of pocket expenses might be for the gastric sleeve surgery. Does any one out there have any idea?
-
I'm leaning towards the sleeve. I had to do a three month supervised diet for my insurance but the doctor said that I can have my surgery at the end of March. Come on March!
-
Are you happy that you chose to get the sleeve versus the bypass? Why or why not?
-
Well I think that I'm going to have my surgery at the end of march and I hope that I don't have to take to much time off. I'm a pharmacy tech so I don't have to lift anything heavy but I do walk a lot.

i was wondering home much time most people take off from work to VSG surgery?
