Anyone have tufts health?



Recommended Posts

I'd like to find out what kind of a 6 month diet did you have to do? Will they let you choose your own plan like Weight watchers or do you have to follow their exact plan? Is it true hyou have to do phone calls once a month to check in or do you see your PCP for weigh ins?

Tufts does not give you a diet or even make you go one to my knowledge .. You have to enroll in their "You Can Change" program. It consists of 8 phonecalls in the 6 months and will discuss things like how to include more exersize in your day, eating out stratagies, changes to your current lifestyle & eating that will help like white bread vs wheat etc.. the only diet I have yet to be informed about is the 1 week preop liquid and 2 weeks post op

Thank you so much for your response. I've been trying to find information about this at least a week. I'm, hoping to get approved this week to start their program but they wont' tell you anything except it consists of phone calls with a sponser. thanks again

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
