When I started this research, I wanted to know every single step ahead of me but even more, I wanted to know what are the final requirements that needed to be met. A major requirement they wont tell you until you're close to the end is that in Baltimore, you need to be at or lower than your initial weigh in!! Remember that...Good Luck!
Well lucky for all you pre-opers, like myself, my Nutritionist is completely lazy and almost incompetent for her position so she gave me the entire Submission Summary for me to navigate thru my own chart and get all the answers.
"THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN DONE" is what I'm finding out from another Nutritionist. You should not have to do any paperwork, just adhere to the program rules. This nutritionist likes to laugh every time she finds a new way to slow up your process, saying oh well, at least u got this far...well for this 6 month program to be almost in my 9th month isnt anything to laugh at when I'm doing all the work but she cant do something simple like call the number provided to her and not in the medical record because I have a new phone...she read the number back twice and still called the wrong number and then said instead of playing phone tag with you, I just submitted whatever I had and if they deny u, we can just do it again...mind you OWG only meets twice a month so what should take 2 weeks is now 4 weeks and she still laughs...I'm not sure she understands the mindset of a person in our position, this is not a game and you're pushing my stuff back...sitting all skinny and happy and not caring what I'm going thru is the worst feeling ever! She seemed so inconsiderate.
If anyone wants to know what Nutritionist not to see in the Capitol Hill office, I will tell you!!
P. S. Here's the summary the Nutritionist must complete for submission......Make it count!! (Not viewable on cell)
