i just wondering, how much of your max out of pocket did you pay the day of surgery?

Hi, my entire amount will be due two weeks before the surgery. My initial doctor consult requires $300 up front, the $150 for the psych thing (good lord I'm crazy yet too and have to pay to be told of such) hehehe. . . the labs also are a separate cost.

I'm out $18000, all due a week or two before surgery.

In addition to specialist copays at $45 a pop and my $200 deductible, I'll be paying approximately $2,000 for the surgeon and hospital. This is my max out-of-pocket. I consider it a bargain because I was planning on spending $16,000 to $18,000 on it if I hadn't gotten insurance approval.

Is the out of pocket costs for the actual surgery all paid upfront before surgery? Mine is about $1200 out of pocket but am not sure when I have that due yet.

      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?
