Hi,

I think it varies depending on the month and how early in advance you book, mine is $4500 including the $500 deposit which I paid 2 months in advance, the earliest you can book is 2 months in advance.

Who told you that you have to book 2 months in advanced?

I'm paying 4700 for Dr Garcia, but I booked a bit ago. I heard it was 4500 recently. 500 deposit within two weeks of booking. Then 500 two weeks before with the rest you can pay with a cashiers check when you arrive.

Also, I didn't have to book two months in advance, I did it because it was the only time i could get off work.

Sorry I guess that came out wrong, what I meant was the earliest you can book is two months earlier, well that's I was told through alighter me anyways? They said that the didn't know what the fees etc would be before then.

Your coordinator can tell you everything you need to know. We used Alma at Ready 4 a Change. We paid $4,500 and put down a $1,000 deposit and the balance in a cashier check when we checked into the hospital. The deposit reserved the date. I've heard you can give as little as $500 deposit.

The payment arrangements likely vary for each group of coordinators. I know some price differences vary between different coordinators. I've heard lots of good things about Alma, but not til after I already scheduled my surgery. All the best to you!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
