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:

      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.
