Bariatric dietician in NYC

[kalico417 0]

Hi. My surgeon was great but did not offer nutritional support after my lapband surgery. I have stalled out on my weight loss and was looking to meet with a nutritionist and hopefully get back to the basics and get back on track. I am looking on line and on my insurance website. Do I look for a nutritionist or dietician? Also, how do I find one that would work with the lapband? Any ideas/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

And your surgeon doesn't know of any nutritionists in your area?

I'd look for bariatric support groups in your area? You can call other bariatric docs and ask them who they recommend, or if they know of any support groups? Someone in the support groups will know of someone.

I just googled nutritionists here in Denver and there seems to be a network of nuts/dietiticians I can call?

You're right about finding one who understands all aspects of WLS. I had one 3 years ago who didn't know diddly squat about the band.

Re: Insurance. Call up the insurance hotline. They'll know and be able to direct you to nuts/diets who take your insurance.
