How much have you spent on dieting?



Recommended Posts

I am self pay in Mexico in 11 days (YEAH!!) and was trying to justify the money that I am going to spend. So here is what I have come up with off the top of my head of how much money I have spent in the last approximately 10-12 years. I am sure I have spent MUCH more than this because I fall for every too good to be true deal.

DIET PILLS-PHENTERMINE $12,320.00

DIET pills (purchased over the internet) 160.00

LIPO-DISSOLVE (what a waste) 1,200.00

ALLI DIET pills 300.00

TWO TREADMILLS 700.00

ELIPTICAL MACHINE 300.00

GOLD'S GYM MEMBERSHIP 670.00

WORKOUT DVD'S 200.00

GRAND TOTAL $15,850.00

SELF PAY IN MEXICO $ 8,000.00

Divided by approx 50 lbs. to lose

GRAND TOTAL $ 160.00 per pound

CONCLUSION: DEFINITELY WORTH IT!!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
