Duke WLS
Oh Yeah , Kim...
Thanks for the Livestrong tip. I went over there and ended up spending a very enjoyable hour starting a program that I think is going to benefit me a great deal. I really like this site and plan to visit it daily.
We are about the same height (though I claim 5'5" more often than not
) , but I weigh abt 20 lbs more than you...my highest weight ever.
I would love to continue to talk and share notes on our weightloss journey. Heres hoping its a great success for both of us!

Hi, just wanted to wish you well with your surgery. I too am going to DWL and my lap band is scheduled with Dr. Tourquati on Oct 6. I had problems with Duke losing my records and then all of a sudden it went swiftly. I have BCBS Federal too and I got my approval the same day it was submitted.
Do you know if there is a high co-insurance with surgery when you have Federal coverage? I've met my deductible and I am just wondering about co-insurance.
Again, congrats on your surgery and good wishes to you.

Citygal,
I think a lot depends on your coverage,,,either Basic or Standard. I know I have always had Basic that includes Duke physicians and DRH as preferred Drs and facility.
However , when I had a similar surgery (lap hysterectomy) 2 yrs ago , I had a copay for my hospital admission and I was also billed a copay by my primary surgeon. I believe they were both abt 100 dollars apiece.
This is a good question as I do not like monetary surprises,,,unless I am a recipient. I will find out,,,I am almost sure Durham Regional will have an admission fee.
