6 Montgh Supervised Diet Question
Soon2B2LittleE replied to Soon2B2LittleE's topic in Insurance & Financing
Thanks!!! I'll do that. -
Hi, I started my 6 month supervised diet in January of this year (the end of January actually) and was going at the end of every month (about 30 to 31 days apart). At the end of June, my doctor was on vacation so my next appointment wasn't until the first week in July. My question is, will I have to start over since, technically, I missed the month of June, although I picked back up a few days latter in July? My other appointments resumed during the first week of each month there after. I am nervous because I don't want to start over or pick up from July; then that would be the second time I would have been set back because of dates. HELP:confused:

Hi SWStacey1977, I too reside in Montgomery and am looking for a PCP to supervise my 6 month diet. I thought I'd found one, but that was a negative. I'm not originally from Montgomery, but have been living here for 10 years with no PCP. Can you help?:smile2: -

Congradulations on your surgery date!! That's great news!! And thanks for the other info. I had my first appointment for what I thought was going to start my supervised diet, but I had the most horrible experience ever and to top it off, didn't even get a chance to see the doctor, just the rude nurse practitioner!! At any rate, I think I may do better with my OBGYN next month!! :smile2:

That's great!!! I went on yesterday to start my supervised diet, but of course, my doctor was overbooked, so I rescheduled for Friday. I got kind of frustrated, but regrouped and rescheduled....lol. At any way, I tend to be impatient, but have no choice but to wait 6+ months. I hope they go by fast!!

Thanks thicknthin. Tomorrow is my first visit to my PCP for the supervised diet. I haven't been to a seminar yet, but plan on going to the one in November. What other tests, etc. did you have to do besided the supervised diet, if you don't mind me asking? Just anxious to get it done. Also, how was the seminar? I am, I guess, worried about doing the supervised diet and not having other things done within the 6 months so that I can be approved and get a date, versus completing the diet and then having to go through other tests, etc. and then get a date. I may be over reacting, but I can be OCD at times:)

Thanks! I do too. I just dread the 6 month diet and hope that I don't have to start over because of an error. :tt2:

Hi Karook54. I am in Alabama as well and have BCBSAL. I wanted to know who were you banded by? I was thinking about Dr. Dewitt (Birmingham) or Cahaba Valley Surgical Group (Alabaster). I'm in Montgomery.

Hi, I'm thinking about going to Dr. Dewitt? How was your experience? I too have BCBSAL and am just starting my 6 month diet as of this Tuesday:)

Soon2B2LittleE replied to Erikka97330's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi Erikka, I'm Erica from Montgomery, Alabama. I too am too afraid of getting the bypass and just recently looked into the lap band. I'm also a single mother and want to do all of the things you mentioned and more with my son. I scheduled an appointment with my PCP for the 7th of Oct. and hope to begin my 6 month supervised diet and hopefully by this time next year I'll be banded too. Welcome!! :cool2: -
Hi Dustie. I am planning on using Dr. Dewitt. How was your experience?

Hi Michelle! I am new to the site, but am just beginning the 6 month physician supervised diet process. I am thinking about using the same doctor as you. How was your experience with him and your overall experience with the lap band?
