Hey- I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow. The 1 question that just occurred to me is if I will have to paid anything out of pocket during my checkin tomorrow. It's Sunday and I didn't ask. Does anyone have blue cross blue shield and had to pay a co-pay during their checkin?$

Most bcbs insurance actually have their policy to state you can not be charged a Co pay and you must be sent a bill that has been processed by insurance. At least that is how my dad's ppo bcbs works. It's a little different if your an hmo.

Good luck! Mine is 1 week from tomorrow.

HI All,

Hope everyone is recovering well. I am scheduled for Friday. I am flying to Tijuana on Thursday. Preop diet has gone well. Down 8 lbs.

Was there anything you recommend packing for the hospital?

Tips for Post OP?

Thanks.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
