Dec 2018 - May 2019 Dietician Consult Buddies?!

[🅺🅸🅼🅼🅸🅴🅺 296]

My first surgeon visit in December 2018 also counted as a nutrition consult so my last consult should be in May. Monday, Jan 7th, I have the first true dietician consult in the evening. No idea what to expect yet so it'd be cool to keep up with other folks going through the same thing at the same time. Hollar at me!

LOL, I think you wore us out on your last RD thread.

You rang? I started my consult in Dec as well, my last nutrition group visit is 05/10!

I wonder when my surgery will be scheduled. If anyone pops in here that has completed the 6 month pre-op process, did your surgeon schedule surgery after the 6 months or during?

Bahahahahahaaaa! Mission accomplished I'm not worried anymore. The RD texted me throughout the day and we've gotten to talk which was super cool.

Sweet! I can't pre-schedule my visits ahead, just one at a time. We definitely need to keep in touch

I was also wondering if the surgeon could pre-schedule surgery, to just save the date. That's something I'll be asking on the 14th at my next appt. Lemme know what you find out

I hope you guys can get scheduled ahead! Mine was a 12 month program and they wouldn't send it for approval til after the 12 months and the required 10% loss (which ended up taking me 23 months, not 12) and then they still wouldn't schedule until after the insurance approval (which was first denied, then appealed, then overturned). I hope for everyone to get what they need as soon as possible!!
