As for requiring you to only use their stuff, pretty sure they cannot do that. I would contact your insurance company, if you are using one.

Its called a upsale the more upsales they do before/during/after the more money they make.
Big ole fat bonus checks coming there way in commission for allllll the upsales they scare into people buying.
Its pretty shady and a downside to having a system where you pay for everything.
Don’t let the fear make you buy from them they are medical professionals they know that telling you you can ONLY have what they provide has a underlying tone of “or else you will fail and if you ever do gain weight or not lose enough one time we will blame it on this and push harder”
A scare tactic nothing more.
What if you hate the taste of what they sell or can’t tolerate it?
Don’t be bullied into purchasing from them go along with it say yes yes then just don’t say you changed your mind as you researched it and found something you find more palatable.

Hi everyone! I started my pre op diet yesterday. I also had my class. I got my Vitamins and shakes and was told that I have to take the vitamins forever and have to get the vitamins from them. They are 25.00 a month. My question is, why would I have to get my vitamins from them? My husband and I are not to happy about that. Also I was told I can't have Atkins Protein Shakes and I have to have theirs! My husband did comparisons and the same ingredients are in each! Is anyone else going through this?

Who's your surgeon? I was told the same thing by my surgeon's office as well.
