Tomorrow is my first visit with the nutritionist. Was wondering any ideas what we will be doing and talking about?

First visit to nutrition
StabMyFinger replied to StabMyFinger's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Don't know yet just how many visits I'll have to have. Next week is the shrink. I hae to have 6 visits with my GP, and have three down. Hopefully November will be the date for me. -
I got a band in 2005. I though it was for me and didn't want to have RNY surgery. Well, I went to my Dr on June 5 and asked two questions. 1. Am I too old (65) (no) 2. can I get a revision. He said yes. This time around I feel like I will have more time to put my full effort into it. As I was working last time. Am starteing to get excited, had an ultra sound on gallbladder,chest exray, ekg, and upper gi last thursday. No surprises.

Yesterday I went and had an ultrasound on my gallbladder, ekg, chest xray, and upper gi. Was told I have a hernia & gerd, I already knew that. Have had them for years. So I am on my way. The stuff you drink has greatly improved and wasn't half bad. Next week its the nutrictionist and the following week, the shrink.

I had an upper GI this morning. They have greatly inproved th liquid you drink. Also had an ultrasound of my gallbladder. Nothing to that. -
I have Tri care for life and they will cover the 20% that medicare doesn't. Just starting the process and have my fingers crossed that I pass all the other test, Also, I am 65.

I have medicare & tri care for life. I hae an appointment tomorrow for a chest xray, gallbladder ultrasound, upper GI, EKG. I don't have to have a manogram because I'm not due one. Next week its the nutritionist.... Not sure how that will go, or how many visits. The week after its with the shrink. I sure hope its all worth it. I have a lap band and they will remove it and to the bypass.

Every day I think about what I am doing. I do have a positive view and know about it through reading. I now have the time to do what is needed, not like the lap band while I was working. Hopefully all will go well and will be waiting for a call from my Dr.

I am 65 and was wondering if I was too old for this. I called my Dr who did my lap band and they said no. I am now into my third month of 6 Dr visits for weight loss and am getting more confident each month. Have a round of visits in the next two weeks for gi and such Am starting to get excited. I have medicare and hope all goes well with it.
