Is this still Considered a Monthly Nutrition Visit?



Recommended Posts

So I have been seeing my nutritionist/dietician around the middle of the month..my last appt was on 2/17 and the one before that was on 1/13.

She is only in on Wednesdays and the soonest my next appt can be schedule is Wed 3/30.

Is there a chance the insurance will throw this visit out and not consider it a monthly since its 2 weeks over? How exact on the date do they want you to be?

Umm...I want to say one of my visits only had 3 weeks in between rather than 4. I psyched myself out over it all for nothing. I had to combine a "sick" visit with one of my monthly visits since I was in rough shape. My insurance didn't have a problem with that. I have UHC.

The only I problem I ran into was the appointments being less than 30 days apart. Less than 30 doesn't count....more than 30 is fine.

So glad my insurance didn't pitch a fit over me not waiting a full month between two of my visits!

I'm pretty sure the 3 or 6 month thing is a minimum, not a maximum.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
