Almost done with my 6 month supervised diet, any advice
Cupcake replied to mirabb2002's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Paj9234 I also had to do a 6 month weight management and gave BCN of michigan I have done everything and I am now awaiting a two month wait to see my surgeon , the ok from your primary that you are referrence to are you refering to the referral letter to your surgeon? -
Hi newbie lol it really depends on your insurance requirements, I had to do a 6 month weight management, see a nutritionist, blood work, EKG, exercise class, attend a class about what to expect how to measure, get a psy eval, and attend two appointments with the surgeon, I'm awaiting my first appointment with the surgeon which isn't until match , ute everything else is done .

I agree with the statements above I found out that I had it to I had to take an aggressive medications for two weeks then it was gone, Im glad that they found out early before I had my surgery. I have to admit I did feel better once it was gone no upset stomach and I had more energy.

Issues with Patient Advocate at Bariatric Center
Cupcake replied to Sofficial's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
SweetSophia yes I am completely done with everything, I am just waiting to meet the surgeon and get my date, although there is a two month and i week waiting period. LOL My husband keeps telling me to be patient I have already did 6 months so these two months and 1 week will fly by, I told him I know he is right but I am afraid the surgery date will be a long one to since he waiting list is so long I hope I am wrong. -

Sallyawbc I agree with your statements I thought I would be all set for Jan for surgery until I found out the waiting list to meet with the surgeon. But all requirements have been met, now I just have to wait to meet the surgeon then I will be placed on a diet , medication review to see if I can take meds while doing the two week liquid diet. -

Cupcake replied to Sofficial's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sweat Sophia when you say submit to the insurance are you reference to 6 month weight management sheet to get the approvel from the insurance company approving you to even meet with the surgeon? Because I know in my case thats what had to happen, my entire 6 month weight management had to be completed prior to my insurance company approving me to meet with the surgeon , just like when I had my psy eval? And I will not be meeting with the surgeon for the first time until the beginning of March. -

Hi I only questioned what I was doing after watching a video, then I made a list of the prod and cons, the pros out weights all the cons x 10. I have finished a 6 month weight management class as well as all requirements but I have so two month wait list to see the surgeon .i hope this helps you I know for me with me being type2 diabetics , having high blood pressure, and recently diagnosis with high cholesterol , I think it's worth it, I'm worth being healthier .
