I lost 15 pounds after 2 weeks post-op and have been on a plateau during week 3 not losing 1 pound. Diet is non-fat cottage cheese and yogurt, egg beaters, mashed Beans, sugar free jello/popsicles and Premier Protein drinks. Calorie range 600-800.
What is going on? Any suggestions?

I have finished psych eval and Rose’s required class. I haven’t heard anything about scheduling the labs and GI, but will ask about that. I am just so ready to feel better! My 6th is April 27th. So hoping I can get this done in May!

I just had my 5th weight class for Medicaid. Any tips on how to get Medicaid to approve after the 6th visit to get a surgery date?

Thanks so much! I took everone’s advice and contacted a primary care physician within the same network as my surgeon which was recommended. So many hoops to jump through when ai just want to feel better.

Need recommendations of primary care physicians who are Bariatric surgery friendly in Denver!

I need to find a primary care physician to write a medical necessity letter who has written them before. I moved to the Denver area and do not have one. I have a couple of co-morbidites, and am in the pre-op stage. I am at the 4 month wait period and need to get the letter ready to submit to insurance. How do I narrow the search down to find a primary care physician who does not have a problem with Bariatric surgery who will write the letter?

Thanks for the encouragement! It has been disheartening after the first 15 flew off so fast. Walking is no problem, however, I have been counting all fluids as Water. I will add 64 oz of H2O to my fluids and hope that helps.
