I haven't had my first appointment yet but am confident I will qualify and insurance will approve. What is a NUT?

You will see most on here use NUT as short for nutritionist. I just started my appointments on 8/21, had my surgeon consult, psych testing, 1st nutrition visit and this Friday I meet with a medical weightloss specialist. After that I have 2 follow ups 9/29 and 10/30 with my nutritionist. After which she said they will start the insurance submission. And then it's the waiting and hoping/praying game. Let me know how your appointments go, nice to have someone going through same medical facility, perhaps we can share our experiences and make sure we are getting the same advice, information

Definitely we should do that!

What insurance do you have?

Is the supervised diet required by the clinic or by your insurance?

Aetna. Was told my insurance requires everything within 90 days or else I have to do a 6 month program. Hoping we can do the 90 day, she seems like a good advocate for me so I feel hopeful, rest is up to me to get some pre-op weight off.

I am also in the Cleveland, Ohio area and will have surgery through The Cleveland Clinic. I have just started the consults, and have had one visit with NUT so far. I have another NUT visit this month as well as meeting the Nurse Practitioner this month. My insurance, BC/BS requires 6 visits with NUT, and you can only do one per month. That part stinks. I was rather hoping this would happen a bit quicker, but I'll follow the rules.

If anyone going through the clinic, who is your surgeon?

Melissa1987, I'm nervous and excited for you! Eek! Just think, you will already be down weight-wise by Christmas! I was told probably in March, 2016. I'm having a heck of a time trying to get any weight off. Right now I have a terrible upper respiratory infection and it is causing my blood sugar numbers to be very high. Therefore I have to use more insulin to even get to some decent area with them, and that just causes weight gain! The madness is never-ending!

How are you doing on the complete Protein shake diet prior to the surgery?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
