    I literally posted about this a couple weeks ago. I was worried that with surging covid cases, they would shut down the elective surgeries again. My surgery was scheduled for tomorrow. This morning about 10 am, the nurses called me to give me instructions for pre-surgery. Then they called me at noon to tell me they were canceling me.

    The worst part is that my husband lost his job, and I’m losing my insurance. This isn’t going to happen for me. I’m devastated. I’ve been crying since they told me. I don’t even know what I’m supposed to do now. I’ve been on liquids for a week. I just feel like.... I have jumped through every one of the hoops for this insurance. I waited months the first time the hospitals were shut down. Finally got a consult. Finally got a date. Made it to THE DAY BEFORE.... I just don’t even know.
    Contact Obesity Action Coalition and tell them your story they have grants for times like this.

    Hi first of all I want to say congratulations on taking the first step to getting to where you want to be on your health journey. My surgery is coming up this Friday. I’m not sure if I’m answering you correctly but I will say this, I was speaking with a nutritionist through Medicaid for some months before I even got in with a surgeon dr. Once I did though, I had to be in his program for six months, though mines was longer but that’s his requirements. I was in it longer because He wanted me to lose 100 pounds on my own before we could actually have the surgery. But once I lose it I did have to meet with their office nutritionist even though I was speaking with one. Though it was only a one time thing. It was more like I had to see the surgeon every month so he can see how I’m doing as well prescribe me this appetite suppressant. I do not know if everyone is the same or not.
    Hi there if all went as planned you should've had your procedure by now, just checking in to see how you're doing

    Hi I'm new here just getting started in the process. Had my first visit with the surgeon and I'm currently working on my checklist. sleep study scheduled for next month.My first visit with the nutritionist isn't until October(seems like a long time to me), I'm currently seeing a nutritionist on a referral from my pcp does anyone know if this can be used as my 6 months of visits with a nutritionist?
