I have Anthem BCBS and a $5000 out of pocket maximum. Based on what my surgeon and hospital have submitted to insurance so far, I will be paying the full $5000. My two night stay was $23k!!!

My coverage has a $250 hospital co-pay and a $35 doctor co-pay. I have a $1500 maximum out of pocket which does not include co-pays and 20% co-insurance. That 20% is what comprises the $1500. So I had to pay the surgeon $450 which included my $35 co-pay and a $75 fee to pay NUT fees for one year. Then I had to pay the hospital a $250 co-pay and the balance of the $1500 for a total of $1860 out of pocket. The surgeon required his part up front. The hospital would have taken the $250 up front and let me pay out the rest, but I paid it all up front the day of surgery.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
