What's included with the program fee? Anyone know?

Here is a link to the page that explains it on his website:

www.dssurgery.com/faq.php

#20 under Pre-Op Questions.

"The program fee covers two years of follow-up care, workbook and education on topics critical to the patient’s health, nutrition, and weight loss, support group meetings, completion and processing of one disability/leave form."

I'd gladly pay $4k for that!

Well...it's a damned lie!!!

It says it covers two years of follow-up.  My surgery was 5.5 years ago...and I STILL get reminders and lab orders and all that stuff.

Damn him anyway.

How dare he go above and beyond his stated services.  I bet the insurance companies would be LIVID if they knew this, they might think he is making them look bad.

Ms Cal Culator, AMEN!  I am 10.5 yrs out, still get reminders for labs and send them to him.  He took the time to personally call me last spring when I was having an issue and emailed the office. He, along with the other vetted surgeons have a heart for patient well-being.

That was a great link! I thought i had read everything on his website but stand corrected. There was a lot of good info there.

Can we start a pool on how long before my response gets pulled?
