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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
