Pre-op, pre-insurance submission



Recommended Posts

Dr. Has me doing the 90 restricted phase instead of 6 months. Just had my 2nd visit with NUT today (1st follow up since initial consult) and I am excited that I lost 15 lbs on my own so far. They have me goal of 30 lbs so knowing I am 1/2 way there and still have 1 more NUT visit before they submit to insurance gives me hope that I'll meet the 30 lb goal. Just wanted to share, anyone else out there in the 90 day restricted phase?? I have had gallbladder ultrasound, labs, chest xray, I have a sleep apnea test next week. Any thing else I should expect after my sleep study and final NUT visit before they will start the insurance submission step?

Still trying to figure out what's causing liquid in my abdomen, I waited 4 weeks for an appointment with specialist only to be sent for more tests cuz he didn't know either, so frustrating and afraid it's going to ruin my 90 day plan. I get a CT scan tomorrow, we will see how it goes from there because I can't get cleared medically until they figure out the Fluid in my abdomen

Ok, now just waiting for Dr. to receive and review and contact me, hopefully this week. I also had my last nutrition visit Friday, she cleared me so I'm cleared for everything but this liquid in my abdomen so praying it's something simple so I can move forward

Does anyone know if insurance will require me to do the 90 day supervised plan again if I have gotten clearance from the nutritional, psych, just waiting on medical clearance due to abdominal Fluid and the specialists are taking FOREVER to review my ct scans and stuff to determine the cause and see if I'm safe to proceed. Frustrating if their busy schedule will derail me and make me redo the 90 day plan all over again.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
