Cost should be a major consideration for those considering the surgery. I was self pay for the surgery 21K. I must say that I have not spent a lot of money on vitamins or protein so far. I am taking a flinstone chewable 2 times a day and B12 liquid twice a day. I may have spent $30 total on vitamins since April when I had the surgery. I've purchased 3 large containers of protein powder at approx. $33 each and that's it. I try to get my protein through food and will occasionally supplement with a shake. I have wasted some money on the protein vials....they are nasty ans sitting in my pantry probably never to be consumed! I am spending more money on water as I was never really a water drinker before. Besides the cost of the surgery I really can't complain about my monthly costs...so far.
