I have been pencilled in for surgery?



Recommended Posts

I am not sure if I should be excited or not. I have been pencilled in for surgery January 5th. I have one more appt on Dec 1st. My Nurtion DR said if all goes well I will be signed off for surgery and good to go. (she said that in a matter of fact way) It has been such a long journey I just don't want to get too excited. Any advice? or comments? definetly welcome!

What control over your surgery does your nutritionist have? I met with mine once preop .... so her "clearance" was obtained early on. (I had to voice a desire to change, essentially LOL)

I had to see a nutritionist to monitor my 10% weight loss like 4 or so times. I also have to see a Doctor that specializes in nutrition...she "manages" my case pretty much and is the one to sign off on surgery (she tells the surgeon I am a good candidate and have consistently lost weight). I have meet with her 3x's and have my final on the first of dec. It has been an agonizing process. I just want to say yay I have a date like so many others say. Instead I get to say "i'm pencilled in"

Hey! I was told the same thing. I did all my pre-op, they told me im pencilled in for Dec. 18th, then i recieved mail with all the information, on date of the surgery, days of pre-op meeting, and that i have to get a check up for clearence from my regular primary doc, and have it faxed to them. They say your pencilled in because they are working on the insurance.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
