Today Is My 6Th Month Weight In.



Recommended Posts

The exitement is kicking in again. I'm getting my PCP's letter today. Wow 6 month went by quickly I'm a bit concerned in the sample letter the Surgeon gave me it says weight/blood presure. Now my doctor only did the weight in he never took my blood presure (I'm not hypertensive) I'm killing myself with this because I did not look at the letter before this. I guess I'll find out today with my doctor if we needed this. Did anyone have an issue with this?

Sorry, I don't understand. Your surgeon's letter says weight/BP and your PCP only collected weight. Why can't you drop by your PCP's office and have a nurse take your BP and add it to the letter?

Just would hate for it to be an issue.

Cigna required progress notes from my visits, which had height/weight, b/p, and temp for each visit. If you had to submit progress notes (office notes), then it'll be on there.

I went to my pcp's office yesterday he said not to worry about it he did an initial check up with weight/BP and temperature at the beginning and yesterday. So all is good lets just hope the don't come back saying they wanted this for all six month.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
