Dietician

[lloyd408 16]

Am I the only one who doesn't see one on a regular basis since having my surgery? I only had to see someone one time preop to get the insurance clearance. Just curious.

I had a follow-up one week after surgery, one month after surgery, another one coming up mid-May, and then in six months, 2 times, and yearly after that. Appointments are with the surgeon or her PA, the nutritionist and the exercise therapist.

Ours is a "center of excellence."

I have't had to SEE my nutritionist post-op, as she is in Mexico and I am in Western, NY, but I corresponded with her frequently immediately post-op as I progressed through the food stages and I had follow-up phone calls with her at 3 months and 6 months post-op.

Mine was just pre-op. I asked her if she does follow up visits and she said if I want to I can but she usually does pre -op

I don't see one either..1 for preop that's all.

I only had to go to a class with the dietitian. I also got a separate appointment with her pre op too...just in case I needed to know something, but it ended up her going through my book (binder) to see if I had everything highlighted that needed to be. But, she is there for me if I have questions later on, if I hit a stall I can't get past, etc.

I have never seen one!

I see my whole team at every appointment. (Nurse, PA, nutritionist) . I saw my surgeon at my 2 week and 3 mths f/u and the other visits he sent one of his residents. At every appointment they reviewed my diet and food log.

I see my dietician at every visit when I see my surgeon.
