6 Month Dr. Supervised Diet And Exercise Class



Recommended Posts

Well we were all set for Surgery this Month until the Insurance Company called and said I needed a mandatory 6 Month Diet and Exercise program.

I don't understand how when I called the benefits department in Aug they didn't know about this requirement, but all my paperwork from the Surgeon goes in for approval and Walla this missed requirement is now my denial for Surgery.

I attended my first class Nov. 30th and my second class Dec 3rd, have 4 to go. My final meeting with Surgeon is April 5th so hopefully Surgery soon afterwards. The kicker for me is my deductible has been met for this year, now with this extension I must meet a $3000.00 again. Frustrated but not defeated. Good day all.

The six months isn't impossible, I did it and if I can do it anyone with a tiny bit of motivation can. The nutritionist told me that during the six months make the best choice possible for myself at every meal and since I wasn't doing that before that I would lose or maintain. She was right. Good luck. It'll be here before you know it!

      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.
