Let me be honest the process started in December that’s when I saw the bariatric surgeon and the bariatric surgeon staff told me I have to be at $300 out-of-pocket fee nonrefundable OK so I paid online and then I started the process. I went to everything that they told me to go to. I said the appointments I did almost everything in December when January hit I had to see the psychiatrist and do a EKG. So when I went to go get the packet and I looked inside the bag that had the instructions of stuff that I was supposed to do that already did it without having that instruction packet three different kinds of shakes protein shakes a few soup packets nothing I really made me go. Oh wow I can’t wait to try this & I’m thinking to myself what did I pay $300 for and then on top of that I talk to the nutritionist twice a few emails here & there then two zoom classes with the information that I already read off of Google so this is what the $300 was for…. So then I had my second meeting with the surgeon just to go over some other stuff that I thought that would’ve been covered by the $300 but I still have to come out of pocket. I still have to buy the stool softener, I have to buy the skin cleaner I have to buy the Flintstones multivitamins. I have to buy the Tylenol. I have to buy a laxative, so that’s the cost I think in my head since I’m always used to go into the doctors, then I after I go to the doctors, I go treat myself and go out to eat or I buy something This time now I have to think about it where OK you spent $300 on good health you’re buying these things that you need to have prior to your surgery that’s going into good health or better health so I’m thinking I’m gonna ask I could use that money for something else I don’t need these things but eventually everybody needs these things they are a necessary household item so in order to loosen the hold on my big girl drawls this is the sacrifice that I’m willing to make that’s not really a sacrifice since I’m all in just two more things to do the lab work and another EKG since they said that I did it in December in the hospital needs to be 90 days so I gotta do that, but altogether it is worth $$$$
