Is this still Considered a Monthly Nutrition Visit?



Recommended Posts

So I have been seeing my nutritionist/dietician around the middle of the month..my last appt was on 2/17 and the one before that was on 1/13.

She is only in on Wednesdays and the soonest my next appt can be schedule is Wed 3/30.

Is there a chance the insurance will throw this visit out and not consider it a monthly since its 2 weeks over? How exact on the date do they want you to be?

Umm...I want to say one of my visits only had 3 weeks in between rather than 4. I psyched myself out over it all for nothing. I had to combine a "sick" visit with one of my monthly visits since I was in rough shape. My insurance didn't have a problem with that. I have UHC.

The only I problem I ran into was the appointments being less than 30 days apart. Less than 30 doesn't count....more than 30 is fine.

So glad my insurance didn't pitch a fit over me not waiting a full month between two of my visits!

I'm pretty sure the 3 or 6 month thing is a minimum, not a maximum.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
