Referral groups



Recommended Posts

Hi All

As some of you know I got my surgery date about two weeks ago For Oct. 28th and I can’t wait my problem is I haven’t got much more Info ie. Whet test I need and even the info I need to take to my pcp. I am using the BELIGHTER referral group which I know some of you have problems with. I didn’t know about these problems until after I got in touch with them. I haven’t herd from them in over two weeks and need to know something. Has any of you had the same experience with these referral groups and how did you deal with it. Has anyone gone directly threw Dr. Rumbaut’s office and if yes how would I contact them.

I have ben so bisy the last week I haven’t had Time to visit the site but I spent some time reading today glad to see every one doing so well

Thanks again

Ellen

Hi Ellen -

Sue's a patient of his, and has posted various info about him. You can do searches on geezersue as the member name, and then Rumbaut in the topic.

Here's a link she posted the other day:

Hey there,

I don't know anything about the belighter group, but I also was a patient of Dr. Rumbauts, and contacted his office directly. The link posted above is also where I got his information. If you email them with any questions you have, his patient coordinator, Doralisa, will happily answer any of your questions. She's a really helpful and sweet person. Anyhow, if you have any questions, you can also drop me a line, I'd be happy to chat with ya.

:D

      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.
