  1. I met with my surgeon in February 2020 and he said bypass will be my best option. Based on my health insurance I have to meet with a Dietitian for 6 consecutive visits and have to talk with a Dietitian at the insurance company for 12 consecutive months as part of the requirements for surgery. I have a couple other requirements to meet also before being approved. I don't feel like I am getting knowledge on the Dietitian side of things from the hospital. They just ask if I have questions and their answers are always you will need to ask your surgeon when you see him again and that will not be until February 2021. I just want to know how to plan meals and how to make the most out of each stage of eating. I want to know how much it is going to hurt because I don't like pain. I just feel like I am not getting guidance on things and I feel like I am all by myself. Thank you for your time.
