Hi! I just had a few questions and to see how other people's first Nutritionist appt went. I see mine for the first time this Friday and I'm just curious on what to expect. I know I'll get my binder but what happened when you had your first nutritionist appt?? Thanks, AC Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Just make a list of questions so that you can ask what to expect during these next 6 months. Mine showed me which apps help count calories because youre gonna be on a 1500 calorie plan. 64oz of Water a day which could also be gatorate, propel, Protein drinks and she should show you which 1's to buy and what not to buy. I just had my last appointment with her before i start my 14 day fast.ill be praying for you Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App Thank you! Good luck to you as well. 6 months?? My insurance only says I need to see my nutritionist for 3 months. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Does anyone know why they ask you if you have migraines? Would that be considered a comorbidy or something? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That definitely makes sense because mine are horrible. Nothing usually works and they last til the next day sometimes. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you! He told me my insurance requires 3 months with the dietician and he didn't say anything else really. He told me that he could definitely help me and that's I'd look weight fast. I'm 5ft 3 and about 225. He just asked me questions and I told him I have bad arthritis in my knees, back, ankles and hips. I just hope I get approved after doing all of this. Lol. Good luck to you as well! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi! I'm new here and I'm just seeing if anyone has had the gastric sleeve and has Medicaid? How long was your process? I meet with my surgeon on the 10th and I'm nervous/anxious about this whole process. My BMI is like 38.2 but I don't have diabetes/HIgh BP or anything like that. I just have arthritis in my back, bad knees and bad ankles. Did you get approved? Any kind of feed back would help! Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Good luck! What were your requirements you had to do? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I began this process early March 2016, before then I didn't even know what gastric surgery was. My BMI was 44 and I am prediabetic. Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App Oh ok. Yeah, he said 3 months with dietician. Lol. I'm going to try and set up all my appts I need to do right after the first visit with the dietician. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Goodness! That's a long time! I met with my surgeon today and he said the process is 3 months. Well, 3 months with the dietician. So I'm looking at sometime in Nov! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
