Your Financial Investment
This may not apply if you have an HMO insurance plan
Variable Expenses: (May be covered under your
Insurance plan)
 Psychological Evaluation ($150-500)
 Fixed Expense:
 Dietician Classes ($135 for 2 pre-op sessions)
 *****Additional sessions may need to be
taken at an additional fee
 Program / Surgeon Administrative Fee ($500)
(Please discuss all expenses further at personal meeting
with Bariatric Coordinator)
Additionally...
Remember, you will need quality vitamins each month,
and initially protein supplements.
We do not endorse any particular product, but will give you
recommendations for supplements and protein drinks.
Protein drinks are temporary, supplements are for life!
You will save money on medications, groceries, and eating out but you will also need to purchase high quality food.
Allow for this in your monthly budget.
Something to consider
Some patients may need plastic surgery or “reconstructive
surgery” following weight loss surgery. Not all insurance
companies will cover this, or they may cover a portion of a
procedure, but not another.
Excess skin can be a major concern for some patients.
Exercise will NOT get rid of it. You can tone muscle, but not
skin. For this reason, please have realistic expectations about
what your body may look like after surgery, and if you think
that you will want or need cosmetic surgery, start planning for
it financially.
Focus on your health, not your vanity.
STEPS TO SUCCESS
WEIGHT LOSS IS SUCCESSFUL WHEN A
PATIENT HAS A:
 Commitment to “Life Style Modifications” Quality VS.
Quantity, Increase activity
 Commitment to “Partnering With Others” Family and
friends need to be involved in this decision, Support Groups
are critical to your success
 Commitment to “Medical,Nutritional, & Behavioral
Follow-up” Long Term Get reconnected with the dietician,
keep taking vitamins - Attend Support Group Meetings!
In Addition - Remember...
 Surgery is successful when a patient has
lost all or most of the co-morbid conditions
caused by obesity.
 Medications are no longer needed.
 Don’t get fixed on a specific number
(WEIGHT) or size.
 “It’s not how fat you are - it’s how FIT you
are!” Dr. Thomas Hopkins, Internist and Bariatric Specialist
