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..

        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
