I'm a self pay patient and I'm scheduled for 1/27. I love the doctor and the package of care that is included, so I was fine with the price. Expensive, but it is what I wanted.

I saw a commercial today and the advertised price for EXACTLY what I have scheduled had dropped $3k. Holy cow.

I made a call to the office and left a message with my contact to see if I can get the newly advertised price. Hopefully, they will just say yes and that will be the happy end of it.

But of course, I'm nervous that they won't.

Nothing I can do until they call me back.

For you GNR fans...

I sit here on the stairs

'Cause I'd rather be alone

If I can't have you right now

I'll wait, dear

Sometimes I get so tense

But I can't speed up the time

But you know, love

There's one more thing to consider

I really hope they will agree to allow you to get the procedure done at the newly advertised price. In this economy every single penny counts. Good luck on being banded.

I am still waiting to see what my insurance commpany is going to say.

Things are oly going to get better!

I got the super awesome news that they will honor the new price. I'm SO happy!

Great!! What are your plans for the extra $3,000?

YAY!!! It's Christmas all over again!! Well, that make the wait worth it! -BG

It is going straight into "restricted cash" for a new summer wardrobe!!

Yes BG! I have been hating and hating this wait, but this was like the magic dust that made it more than worth it.
