Your picture has inspired me!

How do you feel otherwise?

I am glad they caught it. It will get better!

oh no. Do they have you on blood thinners?

I meet with the doctor and surgery scheduler on the 13th. Once I finish my copay it uld be wo weeks after that so we are looking at March 25th. Nervous and scared at the same time!

Is this a Blue Cross plan? I verify insurance eligibility for a living. Does it have anything about a coinsurance listed. One of the things you may have to do is contact customer service and check your responsibility for hospital stays and what's covered.

Usually that means the first $150 is your responsibility then you either have to pay the $2500 up front, then coverage is paid in full. Does it provide you any indication like, you are or the insurance is responsible for a certain percentage after the deductible is paid? That is a pretty low deductible.

Does your insurance cover this or is it out of pocket?

I am getting sleeved March 2013. I have to pay the surgeon $500 and then the hospital will bill me. I am responsible for 20% up to $2500

Thanks! I am pre op so I will continue to take

I have been approved. I go to my final preop appointment February 13th. I should get my surgery date then. We are looking at March 13th. I am terrified of going under. I am a single mom, I am the only one my daughter has. Well, I have family but I am the only parent. I always felt as if something was going to go wrong, it would go wrong for me before anyone else. Am I just being paranoid?

I feel the same way. Getting this surgery has made me confront alot of things about myself. I am terrified of surgery also. I am going to ask my doctor for some zoloft or something because I am starting to get depressed. I had an abnormal EKG, but the doctor says I was showing low voltage and that I would be ok. It's just wondering if I made the right decision. I do know, that something has to be done quickly, I want to see my daughter grow up!

I wonder how the original poster of this topic is doing.... I am wishing her the best

I am not sleeved yet, just wanting to know how are you faring today?
