LeaMarie617 6 Posted July 20, 2013 Next step going back to the nutritionist next week after a month of pre op dieting. I've lost all of 2 lbs . I'm lost bc it's discouraging with only losing such little weight. Anyone know what the steps are after meeting with the biaritrac nurse? Wondering what my time line is to get this ish done! Also they haven't even started the process with my insurance though I don't think I will have a prob I only need to obtain a PA and already saw my Pcp and received referrals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NotLookinBack 164 Posted July 20, 2013 Your looking at it in the wrong way.. two pounds gone is still two pounds gone.. it's a win.. you have to start taking the small wins and relize that they are still wins in the end.. as for the timeline.. I'm not sure.. I'm still pre-op myself.. guess I just wanted to chime in and say congrats on the two pounds!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have lost 6lbs and I am on day 4 of my two week pre-op diet. I started in May and got appoved in July. I only had to have 3 visits with my NUT and 2 surgeon consults. All tests and labs done in between. Scheduled for July 29th. They prob won't submit till you are close to your last NUT visit. At least mines didn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just wish I could get the ball rolling have you had your EKG: labs: upper GI and ultrasound yet? I have had my phyc eval, and my upper GI. The last two things that I have to do is meet my surgeon (I go on August 1st..) and then get my EKG done.. then hopefully I will have a surgery date.. ** fingers and toes crossed** 1 BellaHugz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope that won't be a factor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
