SOME GOOD NEWS FOR A CHANGE...

As of so far this year ... when I finish the gastric bypass classes for my insurance, I was told by both a good person on here that has the same insurance I have and also the insurance company themselves, that all i have to pay is 250.00 for my surgery,.. making me feel good.... yahooo...

Well, that IS good news, but lemme tell ya, it is WORTH far more than that!!!! I had to pay $1,000 out of pocket plus testing and I am sooo, sooo, soooo glad I did!!! But congratulations on being able to keep some of your money in your pocket. You'll be needing it for clothes!!!! Jan -91 lbs.

Wow Emily, that is terrific news! I had to pay close to $2,500 out of pocket for mine, not including the complications which have cost well over $2,500 I'll be paying medical bills until a certain hot-spot freezes over. But, it has been worth it. ~ Trish

I hope I'm not sounding pessimistic...but did the insurance TELL you that or is that what the other person paid for their surgery? My fingers are crossed that this good information came from the insurance company because everyone has different out of pocket costs even if they have the same insurance company so I'm hoping you have good information. I paid a total of $500 out of pocket in 2 separate bills of $200, then $300. Good luck to you!

So far I've paid 2,600 out of pocket and then the copays for labs etc. Is it worth it, you bet it is!
