got a bill form the hospital....

I just got the bill from the hospital for my pre-opt testing stuff...$900!! ( my ins. covered $4,000)
My husband is having a total fit...he is always worried about money. I just hope that $$ is not going to be too big of an obstacle and make me have to delay this anymore. If i have to cancel one more time then there is a good chance the Dr. will not do it at all. In the back of my mind.    .( i feel bad for even saying this out loud) i knew my husband would find a way to mess this up for me. Maybe I am just over reacting...but i would of already of had the surgery if he didn't have me reschedule it. GRRRRRR!!!! I am so frustrated. It's always got to be SOMETHING. I hate when that "something" is MONEY!!!!

I'm tired of waiting.
I'm tired of being fat.
I'm tired of being tired!!

I'm trying to keep it together and stay positive...I know it will all work out.
(well, actually I don't know that...i keep telling myself that but..I'm not too sure anymore)

If a doctor bill that we knew was going to come in is going to be this much of a stress for us( mainly my husband) how in the world is he going to feel when i have to get vitamins every month FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE?? What about special food that i will HAVE TO HAVE,
a gym membership, plastic surgery, future doctor appts(2 hrs away). OMG!!!  

We HAVE talked about all of this...I thought we were clear on everything...this is one of the real reasons he asked me to move my date to Jan...he got freaked out about everything at the last min.

I'll tell you what...if he pulls that AGAIN...too Freaking Bad. I have wanted this for soo long. I am tired of doing everything for everybody else.It's time to take care of ME for a change. I am not going to let ANYONE get in my way. I have worked sooo hard for this!!!  GRRRRR!!!!!

I hate leaving posts like this. Maybe if someone else is having something similar going on this will help??  I know we have not had too many posts yet on this board, I hope this doesn't scare anyone off...LOL

I'll snap out of this and be better tomorrow.( I hope..LOL)
Sweet Dreams everybody!!

 

Sorry to hear you hubby freaked out on the bill. My hubby is going to freak after I have the surgery and we get the bills. My insurance only pays 80%. I have to pay 20%. I am going to have the surgery anyway. My hubby doesn't want me to have it at all, but I am going to. He wants me to get the lap band. My insurance will pay 80% pof the lap band,but won't pay for fills. So there is that cost. You have to do what you have to do. It is your body and your life even though you share it with your hubby the ultimate choice is yours. Good luck.

Medicare is like traditional insurance. It only pays at 80% and we are responsible for the other 20%. this is what scares hubby. It also scares me a bit, but I am worth it and I am going through with the surgery. I let my husband ( his name is George) talk me out of the surgery once and I am not going to let him talk me out of it again.
