My deductible is 1,500 and insurance pays 100 percent after that. I just learned today that mI also have health reimbursement arrangement HRA so I pay the first 500 and they pay the 1,000

I am somewhat the same $750 deductible then they pay 100% Good luck I have less than a week and it will be done!

I have preop visit this Thursday and my confirmed surgery date is scheduled for 3/18/2013. It feels so surreal. I have purchased nothing for surgery and I am freaking out. Hopefully I will get a list of items to purchase this Thursday.

Good luck to you too Sleeve Sister

I'm so nervous I could throw up. I have my pre-op visit tomorrow. I hope I don't chicken out. Tired of reading horror stories!

[WorkItOutWoman 185]

The horror stories are scary but motivational. The horror stories for me are the people who eat fried chicken "without the skin" two weeks after surgery and wonder why they aren't losing. I am going to work my first six months like a full time job.
