  1. Hey guess what? I have been approved! Yea! However, I have also been told that I'd have to pay $635.00 before I can be scheduled. I feel a bit blindsided because I've always asked BCBSNC and they said noooo u won't have to pay anything. But, of course, I will pay it. They are saying it is my co insurance . Hmmmm, what do you guys think?

      That's weird that your insurance would tell you that you wouldn't have to pay and they say you have to pay $635.00. How much is your insurance covering of your surgery? I also had to pay a co-insurance but my cost was $153.00. And I wasn't blind sided they told me right a way once I told them I was interested in the sleeve. I think it wouldn't be as bad if they would have told you from the beginning, but I hope everything everything goes smoothly for you :)

      Oh how I envy the both of you. My annual out of pocket is 8500.00. Had I known when I started this that it was possible to get have the surgery in Mexico for less than 8500'00 and not have to worry about approval from BCBS; I so would have made different decisions. I still have six weeks before I submit for approval.
