  1. Hi Rena! I wish you the best of luck!! Let me knwo when you get your approval! I called the number. they said they can't tell me what my cost for the hospital will be, only that i wll have to pay 20% of the total surgery cost, and my deductible, which is $600 upon registration.
  2. Hi Rena! Yes, I know exactly how much my Surgeon will be (Dr. Ringold - who is your doctor?) But I was curious about the hospital stay. we have to pay 20% of the total cost of the hospital as well... That is the cost that is most concerning. Right now looks like $3000 - $6000 would be my portion... that is a big difference! Thank you so much for your reply!
  3. BCBSAL is my insurance and it covers 80% of the surgery, surgeon, tests and hospital. Quilifiers are the usual, High BMI, serious health relates issues and 6 month medical supervised diet - which I am on my second month... I can't wait! I am a single mom and naturally I am trying to plan as well as possible the costs of my surgery. I know hwo much my surgeon will cost, but I can't seem to find out the cost of the hospital, at Mobile Infirmiry. Anyone here has any idea of how much does Mobile Infirmiry average cost is for about a 48 hour stay/surgery? Naturally, I know it could be between 15,000 and 30,000 and it depends on how you do, if there are complications... Just looking for an educated ballpark! Please tell me your story, if you too have had Gastric sleeve at Mobile Infirmary! I am getting ready for mine! Thanks!
