The Purpose of The Program Fee
Your success with bariatric surgery is dependent on your long-term follow up. Patients must eat right and exercise right PLUS have bariatric surgery to lose weight (and keep it off). The program fee is a $200 fee that is held in an escrow state to encourage your long term follow up and success. It will be refunded to your account when…
- You return to your 6 month follow up appointment (if you return within 5-7 months, this is acceptable). $50 will be returned to your account regardless of your weight loss.
- You return to your 12 month follow up appointment (if you return within 10-14 months, this is acceptable). $50 will be returned to your account regardless of your weight loss.
- You return to your 2 year follow up appointment (if your return within 22-26 months, this is acceptable). $50 will be returned to your account regardless of your weight loss and the other $50 will be returned to your account if you are within 20% of your goal weight (as defined at your pre-op appointments).
Money that is not refunded will be donated to one of following charities/organizations…
- American Red Cross2.American Cancer Society
- Susan G. Komen Breast cancer Foundation
- Obesity Action Coalition
