So, I was living in Arizona and had my 6 months of insurance required nutrition visits. Then we had to move because my husband is serving in the military. I'm just wondering if I'm going to have to start over and if any of you have moved during this process?

Thanks!

I had to when I moved (2 different insurance providers) Are you using TriCare? They might be able to transfer your records.

Talk to them before the move to see what you need to do. If you are having it done at the base hospital there might be things you can streamline.

I switched practices half way through. I was incredibly uncomfortable with the former practice and feel so much better/safer with my new surgeon. I was open with my insurance company and they supported me 100%. Make sure you fill out all the HIPAA release forms ASAP and have your records emailed to you (paper copies can get lost/damaged). Your new practice should have no problem accepting the prior doctors information.

GOOD LUCK!

I started in Tricare north region then moved to South region I have Tricare standard. I changed from a clinic in Illinois to mayo Clinic in Florida. I just had all my records sent over and picked up from there. I was approved in the South region then moved back to the North region. Tricare told me as long as I have surgery where I was approved I will be OK. I will still have surgery at Mayo Clinic in Florida where I was approved even though I now live in the North region. This is how Tricare standard works though. Prime is another type of beast

      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.
