Good morning I just wanted to give a little advise, I used an online nutritionist recommended by my Surgeon and group called New-Tri it was awesome and very informative, BUTTT be careful I had to pay for this out of pocket and now my team tells me that my insurance company may not accept it, so I may also have to take some additional nutrition classes.
