Nutritionist Fee's

Jul 06, 2010

So I'm upset..... Today I called Dr. Moazzez office to confirm my appointment with the nutritionist tomorrow.  Tell me why the lady who answered the phone was like OH by the way did they tell you about the $570.00 fee for the nutritionist.  I'm like NO was I going to find out when I got there or was someone actually going to tell me. What about insurance? They don't cover it!!! I was about to faint that is way too much money!!! And if you are going to charge that much why not get the insurance to cover it!!! I'm just like damn... and they know you want to have the surgery so its not like you gonna say no, I'll pass and just keep my stomach they way it is....the size of a football!!! So I have to pay $180.00 for 1 freakin hour with the nutritionist. Then once you get your insurance approved for the surgery you have to pay another $390.00 for a 2 hour weight loss class.... I'm like are you kidding me!!! All of these folks on this website and not one of them mentioned oh by the way if you choose to go through this doctor... its gonna cost you $570.00 dollars. Granted the people are nice and the surgeons do a great job...lemme find out imma have to do some price shopping to get gastric bypass....like foreal tho....really????

Oh yes I am keeping tabs on this $hit!!! just like those visa commercials

Psychiatric evaluation: co pay $25  Psychiatrist report fee: $50

1st appointment with Dr. Moazzez: co pay $30

1st nutritionist appointment: $180

Weight loss class: $390

Having the ability to cross your legs, wear stilletoes, wear a two piece, bend down and tie your shoe, run,: PRICELESS

So far this is coming up to $675.00 OMG I see why not everyone can get weight loss surgery... don't we have some type of fund here for people who cant afford it...

Well I guess its not too much compared to how much insurance will be covering which will be everything. I'm just surprised that they can not cover at least have of the nutrition fee etc or where can I find a nutritionist that my insurance covers.
