Bariatric Consult!

EllaJo · November 17, 2012

I had my first bariatric consult yesterday! They said it will probably be a month until I see the nutritionist for the first time (scheduling on Monday) And my testing (Egd, barium, etc) should be in January-February , psych visit will be scheduled by Friday of next week, and surgery by June... I was hoping for sooner... More like April-May...

But the process has started! I'm so excited!

I did the seminar in October. I saw the surgeons assistant yesterday. Good luck on a March date.

How many Nut visits do you have to do? I have to have 6 months of visits for my ins.

If I don't hear anything by Monday about my Nut appointment I will be calling ASAP. Also if no word about my psych visit by Friday I will be calling them also. I want this new "tool" ASAP!

Good luck to you too! And thanks for the advice!

So,

I did delay things in the beginning because of my schedule. Once I complained to myNut about them also not following up they began calling me promptly. And the ball is rolling. Oh yea.

Sorry this is long but if I could help anyone else I will. Thanks good luck too.

Take all the space you need to explain it helps me and everyone else

My ins was upfront with telling me that there would be no more than 4 weeks between my 6 months of NUT visits... And my surgeons assistant was helpful with making sure I know it also. Don't want to miss anything!
