Hi, I want to see if maybe someone could assist me with something. I went to Dr. Bobby's seminar back in the spring and was all for everything he said and I really think that he would be an awesome doctor to do the surgery that I need done, BUT..at the end of the seminar he said that up front they would have to have $6 to $8 thousand dollars out of pocket??>.I am just wondering if I heard this right?? I have Triwest insurance and am approved by them to have the surgery because of my BMI and diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol problems..but if I have to come up with that much money up front I am not going to be able to do the surgery and then what's next???...please if someone can help me with this and hopefully tell me that I heard it wrong..thanks for your time.

Yes Kathryn

Dr Bobby has a big program fee - but you never have to pay for any co-pays or fills for 5 yrs (that's what I was told)

IMHO it's his way around what the insurance companies pays and he also gives you the food for the preop diet in that program fee..

He has a nutristion on staff and you visit with her everytime you go in - Dr Bobby does your fills not an assistant - and he sits and talks to you and listens - it's not just a 5 minutes in and out with him....

I LOVE DR BOBBY - he is worth every extra penny that you have to pay... You can get care credit to pay the program fee (loan) ...

Also for me having a local doctor was very important... You get his cell # incase you have any problems you have 24/7 access to him personally...

There are other doc's out there who don't charge the program fee - Dr Philllip Q somthing - he's in LA and I didn't want to travel that far to get fills and ck ups as that would be a whole day off of work..

Again you can get a loan thru the Care Credit (I think that's the name) and what isn't paid by insurance is tax deductible too

Again like I said Dr Bobby is worth his weight in GOLD AND EVERY PENNY WAS WORTH IT...

Good Luck - Talk to them - They will help you figure out a way..

      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.
