I did tear up but I was in front of a teacher asking if everything was ok- I fled the class when my phone went off and I knew the number!! Now I have to tell my team I will be gone for 2 weeks. I won't be descriptive- just tell them I'm having surgery. EEEEKKKKSSSS!!!!!!

FEB 20th!!!

Alot of insurance companies don't pay for that its out of pocket

I paid for lapband fee $350 then I just had revision surgery to RNY and had to pay out of pocket $575 my is Humana

Good luck

Congrats on getting your date! Keep us posted. My insurance is covering the psych eval and the nutrionist eval but the pschy eval said I have to pay a $50 report fee along with my $40 copay. I've got BCBS.

So far I'm responsible for 386.33

$150 is my deductible and $20 is for a copay. The rest is my 10% I will owe!

My out of pocket is $386.52

150 deductible

20 office copay

The rest was what was left over from insurance paying at 90%!

I didn't have to pay not one penny. I have bcbs highmark. My out of pocket Max was 750 and that was met early January last year before I even thought of surgery
