Does $185 Sound About Right?



Recommended Posts

I live a bit north of you' date=' in southeast PA. The thought that there would be a separate charge to write out the report didn't even cross my mind!!![/quote']

I had two visits...the first one was 45 minutes...$50 copay...the second visit was 15 minutes...$50 copay...and I paid $50 for the report so $185 seems reasonable.

Yeah we do have an EAP. What can they do?

They can direct you a local professional. The best part of the benefit is that your employer pays for a portion of the visit(s). $25/session for 3-5 sessions is what my EAP offers.

i paid $265 out of pocket. I got a 3 hour evaulation though. Crazy that the prices are so different/insurance is so different.

I have to pay $500 for 3 sessions and a report. Anyone have someone they recommend in the Philadelphia area that may be cheaper?

My psych appointment was $150. She wasn't in my network so I had to pay out of pocket.

My out of pocket was over $1200. Was not expecting it to be that much. The psych clinic is in my medical clinic and ended up being out of network for my insurance. I was annoyed, but what do you do? One of those hoop, I guess!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
