Juicing

[LadyPullings 94]

I had my first appt w my PCP and he referred me to see the nutritionalist/dietitian. I attended a seminar prior to seeing my PCP. They verified my insurance ect. The bariatric coordinator said that I had 2 see the dietician 3 times once a month?

My BMI was 39.89? And I had a elevated blood pressure and tomorrow Monday I will do some blood work for my thyroid and blood sugar.

Anyway, I've juicing for a few weeks and I am really hoping that my journey is smooth. I really needed that 40 BMI and I was 1 pound off!

Wish me luck!

Hi if you don't gain the 1 pound will they deny you, if so see if you can borrow some ankle weights for the day you weigh in good luck.

So when will my official weigh in be? With the dietician or the surgeon!? I'm so confused with all of this? So the one with my PCP didn't count?

I just went to target and got the ankle weights as well!

If you have high blood pressure then you might just need a BMI of 35...

For me it was he first visit with the surgeon but your insurance will be the decider

Call your insurance and get a copy of the approval guidelines

Thanks everybody. Tomorrow I will call and see what my next steps are. So far I only have a authorization for the nutritionalist. She works with the bariatric surgery department.
