After a year of Drs appts and tests and after one denial...I got approved. Now for the money part...yikes lol. I know that my surgeon is requiring $1502(my insurance deductible is $1500 and i've met a good deal of that already)...now i'm waiting to hear from the hospital about what they will need up front. The surgeons part has to be paid before the surgery is scheduled and the hospital's part has to be paid 10 days before surgery.

How much did y'all have to pay to the hospital up front? I'm having RNY by the way.

Congratulations!!

Congrats on your approval. My out of pocket was only $600 and I had to pay it all on the day of surgery.

I think I just had to pay my co-insurance, which based on my insurance plan was $300. Nothing had to be paid upfront to my surgeon.

Thanks for the info. I put a call in to the hospital today so i'm just waiting to hear back from them so I know how much to expect to pay them...a little moving money around and i'll be on the books...YAY!!!

Good Luck! So happy for you! Congrats!

Congrats! I'm so happy for you!

Thank y'all so much...i'm very excited!!!
