Hey I'm a Virginia sleever in the preop phase. I'm in Hampton and my surgeon is Dr. Clark... Do you have a date yet?

No I don't have a date yet, going through my PCP visits.

I was going to have surgery at Sentara but their after care program was outrageous. I decided to go with Bon Secours. They only want $120 dollars and that's for 6 1hr personal trainer sessions ( where can you get a personal trainer for $20 an hour?).

I could have saved a trip. But its all good. I'm looking at Sept- Oct if everything goes well.

That's great I have to get my PCP to give me my letters for clearance and my nutritional visit paperwork and then I can submit to the insurance company...I can't wait to get this started....

I went to the seminar in Newport News. I didn't know that you can go straight to the surgeon, but the seminar was an eye opener.

What I also like about Bon Secours is that the surgery scheduler collects all the paper work that's needed once you sign the release form. All I have to do is go to appointments and she does the rest. She pull my PCP visits on month 5 which is August and send everything in then. I'll have all other tests done by then and to get clearance from my heart doctor is just a phone call, so everything should be good.

I love my doctor, Dr. Salzberg made me feel more than comfortable.

Yea my PCP referred me to Dr. Clark and I went to his office "the center for weight loss" in Newport News and have been doing everything with them. It's really nice there they have there own insurance specialist and dietician. He does his surgeries at sentera but everything else all the appointments and consultations are at his office.... I have been trying to enquire more about the price of the surgery but they told me its all up to sentera and my insurance company. They do have a fee directly but includes all of your post of visit a monthly weight management thing where you weigh in, support groups and a whole bunch of other add ons.

I understand but I just couldn't swallow that $1,057 dollar price tag for their management system. The lady told me that I Must pay that and even though they break it down throughout the year why would I want to pay $269 and $69 dollars a month for things I can get for free with Bon Secours.

I looked at both packages and it just made more sense to me to only pay $120 for 6 1hr personal training sessions. I have dietician for life, shrink access for life and can see my surgeon whenever I need to, plus all their groups are free and open to all (no matter who does your surgery).

I wish you the best. I know how it feels when you have some one you're comfortable with. I'm just glad I looked into both programs before I made my choice.
