Strax is charging me $11,500 but I've left a message for the patient rep, Allie, to call me because I've asked around and they're charging $10,500. On my consultation day Steve was off and I met with Dr. Ghen. The surgeon, Dr. Choi, didn't say anything to me regarding a preop diet. Dr Ghen and his staff were pushing shakes. It was an extra $250+ and I felt I was being forced into something I don't need so I didn't buy it. I wonder if I made a mistake. My surgery is set for June 11th. I got the EKG there. I have to go back on May 22 for blood work. I'll see my primary on Monday to do a complete blood work and physical just to be on the safe side. I plan to start a liquid diet on June 1st. I'm 40, 5' 8", 236, BMI 35. How's your sister doing? Was it Dr. Choi that performed the surgery? My concern is that Strax is not a hospital and people say it's a meat market but yet Dr. Choi seems to be good and experienced. Wow, May 14 I wish you a quick recovery. Please stay in touch.
