Multi-Disciplinary Surgical Prep Regimen



Recommended Posts

My insurance is TRS Aetna and the require a multi disciplinary surgical prep regimen. Has anyone run into this? I am ok with the consultation with a dietician and decreased calorie diet (dietician can help with that too), but who in the heck does a behavior modification program? Where can I get that? I have to start on an exercise regimen, supervised by an exercise therapist or qualified personnel. Who would do this? I dont want to pay anymore money that I have to. Can my general doctor do it? I do not want to be denied coverage. Any help is appreciated!

Do you have a surgeon already? I didn't have to do as many things as you list but the bariatric coordinator at the surgery center had people for all my insurances requirements.

I know who I want to use and have been in contact with them. She has hooked me up with a nutritionist. I do need to talk to her again and find out if the surgeon can do the rest. My only issue is that I live 5 hours away. That is the closest in network doctor. It is ridiculous! I wanted to do all I could locally to keep from traveling so much; that is why I feel so overwhelmed I think.

Which surgery did you have and how are you doing with it?

I'm having lap band next month. I'm super excited and ready to go!

I had to travel about 40 minutes to the nearest surgeon and all the people I used were near the surgery center. My travel wasn't as long but they worked hard at getting multiple appointments on the same day so I didn't have to make as many trips. Maybe if you explain your situation they will be able to help you.

      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.
