It cost what?!?!?!?

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.

  2. I 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!!!
    Best of luck to you!!!!

  3. BCBS, paid a majority of of my hearing aid two years ago. Most carriers don't cover (hearing) aids.

    Scales definitely suck sometimes, but your next weigh-in will be GREAT, I'm sure of it! :)
