I Have 2 Dieticans And Insurance Wont Pay For The Bariatric Dietician.



Recommended Posts

So my surgeon requires me to see their dietician atleast 3 times , this is the thing i was going to another dietican and i feel like they should have scheduled me after i saw my dieticain 3 times so i can do the last 3 with their dietician. I say this because the insurance comapny wont pay for two. I am sure someone knew that when they made my appointments. I am sooooo frustrated with these people. And i didn't mention they made all of these appointments with out approval from my insurance. I feel like they dropped the ball on me and now i have to pay for 2 visits with the dr and 3 vistits with the bariatric dietician. I don't know what to do. I think i need to cancel my appointments with the non bariatric dietician. sry for my mispelled words. i live for spell check. lol

Ok I found out that my insurance doesn't pay for a nutritionist or dietician. wow is all I can say.. I am thinking they didn't know that they were already paying for one for me. so i will shut up with them so they wont figure it out. lol I think because its called diebetic education then its covered. 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.
