Persia,
That is crazy!!! They should be happy you want to try something as inexpensive as phen, rather than some expensive surgery. Your insurance should pay. I pay a 5.00 copay. My initial visit was 25.00, my copay and I get weighed and vitals each month for 10.00.
That office visit price is outrageous. They probably know they have a corner on the market. I'm sorry you are going through this. Do you have a family doctor that will work with you? If you gained 100lbs during pregnancy, your BMI along with increased health risks, should qualify you for the pill.
I don't understand why the make it so hard for us
