Cost of gas to fill car to get to hospital for lap band surgery ~ $60
Cost of a little extra babysitting over two weeks while I recovered ~ $100
Cost of protein powder and vitamins ~ $150
Cost of surgery because I have AWESOME insurance ~ $0
Seriously. Nothing. Zip. Zero. Zilch. It was all covered. From the doctor to the room to the anesthesiologist.
Crazy, I know.
Oh...and Weigh in Wednesday can bite itself....the number on the scale sucked today and I'm not talking about it anymore.
The story of learning to put down my fork after 33 years of being full...
Lucky duck! THANK GOD I have insurance that covers it but it sure don't cover the whole damn thing! And don't worry, next week will be better :)
ReplyDeleteI am shocked that BCBS would pay 100% for anything at all!!!! I have been fighting w/ them for a long time for a breast reduction...to no avail...and I am in healthcare (on the business end) and see exactly how they screw most of their insured...so for you, I am super excited that you are having such a good experince!!!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to you!!!!
BCBS, paid a majority of of my hearing aid two years ago. Most carriers don't cover (hearing) aids.

ReplyDeleteI had Cigna at the time of surgery and I was very fortunate that it paid all of mine too...glad it was the same for you!
ReplyDeleteYAY! That's awesome!!! I have BCBS, and they didn't pay for anything. :( Oh well!
ReplyDeleteScales definitely suck sometimes, but your next weigh-in will be GREAT, I'm sure of it! :)
