New Surgery Requirements (Predatory Practices)

Jul 20, 2015

Hello OH Family! I hope this posts finds everyone well and in good spirits! I am just writing in response to a recent WLS seminar that I attended with a family member. This post is specifically for the newest OH family members and those who are waiting to have their surgeries. I had my surgery done in the beginning of 2008 and I know some of the procedures and requirements have changed but there are some indications that everyone should still be on the look out for, because during the seminar I attended the information and the office seemed predatory. First and foremost you should never have to pay an "attendance" or "appointment booking" fee. This office was charging ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS! for a pamphlet and a tote bag and the details on how to make an appointment! RED FLAG!!! Number two if the doctor is evasive and does not want to fully answer your questions and diverts you to another member of the office staff then RUN don't walk, don't pass go and don't collect 200.00! Lol seriously a lot of new changes with health insurance and coverages has impacted tHE WLS community but still please be on the lookout for predatory doctors and offices!

Love Always
