BP Customer service is AWFUL!



Recommended Posts

I purchased 6 of the same item this week. I received an email telling me they only had 4 not 6 so I said fine send me tge 4 and refund the difference. I then received only 2 and emailed them back to hear oh sorry we only had 2. I told them I felt that with the repeated mistakes they should refund the money for the missing 2 and send me another flavore at no charge. In my next email reply I wasn't even given the option to just choose the other flavor for the money I already paid, nope they just refunded my money. I have also found that the majority of the products here are available elsewhere cheaper especially on Amazon prime. I will never buy another item from BP and I won't renew my subscription box either. Horrible customer service seriously BP do better!!

When it comes to bariatric products I was advised in a group meeting to shop around. One person said if you go into a Vitamin shop and said that you had bariatric surgery and needed Vitamins you'd end up with $200 worth of stuff. She asked her nutritionist what was the best stuff to get and was directed to costco (or any other similar store) where she bought Costco Multi Vitamins, calcium citrate (not carbonate), B12 pills and was good to go. We don't need to spend huge amounts on specialty stores when comparable cheaper products are widely available.

I've never purchased a 'bariatric' product in my life. 'Bariatric' is never on the label as it adds cost but no benefit.

The few supplements I use I just buy the bog-standard version from, usually, Walgreens when I am picking up prescriptions. I could probably pay less at Amazon, but it's usually a matter of thinking of it because I see it.

Just my ever so humble opinion. ;)

Same. Between Wal-Mart and Amazon I got everything I needed at a fraction of the cost, with emphasis on the former when it comes to foods, Protein, and supplements.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
