So I filled out my new patient paperwork middle of February. I was blessed enough to be able to be seen at the end of February to kickstart the process. I'm now on month 4 of 7 with all the requirements met except the nutritionist visits. I have to do one a month until August then I am done yay. But I am having such a hard time cutting out the bad things like seriously it is getting terrible Sent from my SM-T380 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi guys I am on month 4 of 7 I will finish my classes in August and have surgery in September. I have care first blue shield. Of Georgia and I live in Maryland. The requirements for my insurance were 6 months monitoring diet and a psych eval also letter of support from my Pcp. I needed my sleep study and a month of compliance for my surgeon. I'm done all of this and just have to sit be patient and twiddle my thumbs and wait until I finish my clasex7 Sent from my SM-T380 using BariatricPal mobile app

ok as far as headaches you can take a prescription called topamax. it is great for migraine prevention. for breakthru headaches i take tension headache pills it is tylenol and caffeine works wonders i have had migrains since i was 5 years old and i am 27. the best treatment for me is prevention learn your triggers.

ok guys this might be here somewhere but if it is ignore this and show me to that thread. so i wanted to start a thread on programs. now i know everyone of us is is different and has had a different but all the time i keep seeing people ask well is this ok is that ok well i dont know what does your particular program teach. so here is my deal come here tell me where you are from your surgeons name your nutritionists' names and the hospital also this is a place for the good, bad, ugly, indifferent. so i will start with me im in baltimore, maryland. my hospital is greater baltimore medical center. my program is called the comprehensive obesity management program. there are 3 surgeons Elizabeth a Dovec she is the head of the program. her and her or staff are all female including anesthesia it is great. there is Dr. Bello. i dont actually know much about this one ive not met him but other people in my program absoulutly adore him say he is highly skilled. and then there is my surgeon timothee freisen. all of these surgeons have taken extra training to make the surgery to make it as cosmetic as possible. my program has its own closed facebook group. where we have access to all of the surgeons just tag them in a post and they will answer. also the registered dietitian watches the group and answers all our questions seemingly at all hours of the day i swear its like she does not sleep lol. so anyone in maryland considering this surgery i highly reccomend gbmc

i have to complete insurance requirements i wont be done those until august and then it takes about a month to schedual surgery

I was putting away dishes at 5 dusting the wood surfaces with pledge at that age too by the time I was 7 I had dish days at 10 I was doing my own laundry. I road 5 miles to the library on my own at that age too. Lol but I don't think I'd trust my nieces and nephews to do the same Sent from my SM-T380 using BariatricPal mobile app

You could ask your surgeons office to refer you to a Pcp that works with them. Maybe in the same hospital. I'm in a weird state where everyone knows everyone. Maryland is tiny liberal and doctors are completely fine with people doing what they want with their own darn bodies Sent from my SM-T380 using BariatricPal mobile app

Ok first I am going to send you a big big hug from where I am to where you are. I am going to congratulate you on loving yourself enough to take this step to change for the better. You can do this. Now for some tips. Sugar is basically cocaine and if you can detox from that the sooner the better and you will be less hungry. Protein is going to become your best friend. Learn how to get it in in a variety of ways. Also there are going to be days when you do amazing at this it will come so easy then there will be others where you will fall into temptation and just feel angry. Let those feelings pass. Acknowledge them then let them go. Sent from my SM-T380 using BariatricPal mobile app

Trust your gut. I would switch they are centers of excellence for a reason they are kept to a higher standard. In my state the only hospitals that do bariatric surgeries are bce also there are such things as blue dot centers. Mine is one of those they are kept to an even higher standard and some insurances not only make you go to a cofe but blue dot. Sent from my SM-T380 using BariatricPal mobile app

My surgeon is in a program where all the surgeons do extra training to make the surgery as cosmetic as possible. Also I chose my surgeon based on past experience he and I have a very good working relationship he's definitely of the opinion your body your choice if you only want bypass your doctor should respect that. My doctor also did not feel the Need to dumb himself down I am very well versed in medical knowledge and can keep up with the best of them. So please respect me as an intelligent person and talk to me as such Sent from my SM-T380 using BariatricPal mobile app
