Kaiser-Mid Atlantic patients, Let me make your day!



Recommended Posts

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)

There is no one else I can get to with my Nut being out on Maternity leave and they didnt even have back up. I have to travel to DC for my appointment or wait for the new girl to be trained. Paperwork has been submitted and if denied...actions will be taken.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
