I am fairly new to this process. This week I have been doing all of my first appointments. I met with the Nutritionist yesterday and they are not who I will be seeing for the 6 month diet that CIGNA requires it was just an appointment to let me know what to expect after surgery. I got the feeling the entire time that the nutritionist was trying to talk me out of having the surgery. She made everything that I had to eat after surgery sound so terrible. I guess they may try to weed out some people who aren't really serious about this ? I kept countering her with positives explaining that anything I give up is well worth it compared to everything I have gone through and do go through with my weight. Has anyone else had a similar experience?:thumbup:
