WEIGHT GAIN? 6 MONTH NUT VISITS.



Recommended Posts

Has anyone gained weight during nutrition visits?

I think I effed up. I gained 10lbs between my consult with the surgeon and second nutrition visit.

I explained to her the very devastating loss of a family member... and also how I wanted to kinda .. "eat my last junk foods".

since then, I have lost 6lbs. I plan on being down even more when we meet again in 2 weeks.

Basically I'm terrified the insurance will deny me because of the 10lb gain- even though I lost it back and more.

Has anyone been through this or heard of this? What happened? thanks!

Check with your insurance company. I gained 4lbs after my second visit and I was freaking out but I called my insurance company (United Healthcare) and they told me there was no weight loss requirement during my supervised diet. I met with the surgeon last week and I asked him about it also. He said it's fine.

I think the issue is usually if there is a net gain between first visit and submitting to insurance....so if you lose it now, you might be fine?

      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?

      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! 😞
