covid test
sorry to hear that. i am a huge baby and i mean huge. i didnt feel anything she literally just went to the back of my throat not bottom or anything. but i know everyone experiences is different. my results came back neg no surprise to me. but i did tell her i suffer from panic and anxiety attacks so maybe she was extra gentle. they other nurse had the guy hurting in pain. glad i didn't get her because well i might have been in jail she was real rough with it

How much would YOU pay???
Only pay $600 for the nutrition dietician I have got them lapbznd before and had it removed a year ago so I was already familiar with it however my insurance only wanted me to go to this one hospital they wouldn't redirect me they wouldn't let me go anywhere else but only just one hospital well I called a different hospital and the nutritionist was willing to see me for $100 a session so I went on ahead and I gave her 600 and made her back date the sessions they submitted it to the approval samse day. i figured i want this done over... i know $600 is alot but covid still has this hospital on lockdown only covid patients and i had been waiting since january... so if i wanted insurance to cover 6 months had to wait.. lmao found one who was will to so whatever as long an you paid.. best $ 600 surgery 06/23

How much would YOU pay???
I paid for my nutrition and dietitian classes will have been approved to receive the services in January however they have remained close even up until this day they're still close and that was the last thing I needed to do in my surgery tomorrow to get surgery so I asked if I could be redirected I was told no they only use this hospital to do it well the road research digging and found the dietitian nutritionist at a different hospital and she was willing to work with meShe quoted me $600 if I wanted the package completely done or 100 for one session since I had to do six months I gave the whole six months upfront and asked her to backdate all six months because I had already lost time from January to June.I went to the insurance I was approved the very next day best 600 spent for me a piece of mine and I went from having a surgery date of November to June best decision my sleeve is getting done on June 23
