3 months of charting???



Recommended Posts

I started my 3 months of charted dieting and exercising in June.. I have had my pych eval done, and just completed my 3 months charting with my doctor. I meet with the dietician on Monday and go from there to meet with a new surgeon. I am worried about the submiting part. Not because I have done what I was told, but because the new office informed me that my exercise was suppose to be charted by a professional.. My first question for the lady was "what do you mean a professional" then it turned to "isn't a doctor considered a professional" I mean come on I would rather exercise under the care of my doctor then a trainer at the gym. I feel they are going to take my health more serious then a trainer I pay to help me loose weight. I just worry that insurance isn't going to take the exercise regimin from my doctor and deny it bassed on the exercise part. Has this happened to anyone going through insurance? If so what is something I can do to insure my approval is granted? I started this long journey back in March, but had to put it to the back burner when health problems came up and surgery was needed.. But since June I have stuck with it and have done all that I can to insure nothing is missed. I went by what the surgeons office told me. My husband and I are switching insurance in January and we are not sure if the new insurance will cover WLS. So I wanted to do what I could to get it done this year. Are my worries for nothing?:lol:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
