First Dietician visit.



Recommended Posts

Good morning Bandsters!

My first dietician meeting is tomorrow. I was wondering what I can expect to learn from this appointment and about how long is the first appointment?

My dietician visit was real about 30 minutes long and basically she just ask me about my eating habits and gave me some papers I guess to help make healthy choices. It wasn't really that big of a deal. Of course then she was the one who held up my insurance approval for no reason at all so go figure!

I guess it depends on what you are meeting for. If this is your "let me tell you how you're going to eat after surgery," it is a helpful appointment to get the information on what you'll be eating in the liquid stage, the mushie stage, and onward. I got info on which Protein drinks I was allowed, what Vitamins I needed to get, and a basic idea of how I should stock my pantry for those first few weeks. That appointment took 30-45 minutes.

Good luck getting ready!

      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.
