Feeling defeated before I even have surgery ????
Jan 09, 2017
I am so sad. I have surgery scheduled for 3/30 and I already knew what my portion would be for my doctor. I called last week to see what my portion would be for the hospital, and they called me today and ripped my heart out. My insurance only pays 50% of the hospital bill for bariatric surgery so my portion is $5,000. I wasn't expecting anything close to that. They won't accept payments either and expect the full $5k by 3/28 when I go for preadmission tests. That's on top of the $1358 to my surgeon's office and what I've already paid for my psych evaluation and consultation. I feel like I have wasted my time trying to do it this way instead of just going south of the border. Only close family and very, very close friends know that I've started this process. So I can't post this on my fb page. And I just feel defeated and needed to post it somewhere.
