Doctor supervised Weight management appointments



Recommended Posts

Hi I am new to this and I hope you can help. I have one more supervised weight management appointment till we submit for authorization. I am worried because I gained weight by 3lbs and my Appointment is tomorrow’. I been eating healthy and right portions as well, and doing weight training and cardio. my surgeon told me to start introducing exercise and that’s what I been doing as well.

My question is has anyone gained during weight management supervised appointment periods? And what happened if so?

The 3 pounds you gained could be muscle. Muscle weights more then fat. I wouldn't sweat it.

I always get morning appointments and only nibble on a Breakfast until after they can weigh me. Weight fluctuation between doctor's scales, your own, Water retention etc can have a few pound difference - I wouldn't worry too much.

The old what weighs more one pound of lead or one pound of feathers?

Very unlikely someone gains three pounds of muscle in one month. It is likely Water retention.

It depends on your insurance and your surgeon.

My surgeon would not operate if we gained weight during the six months.

Insurance varies but usually is based on first weight for surgery requirements.

I gained 2 or 3 lbs before my last meeting. They still went through with the surgery. It probably depends on your surgeon. But 2 or 3 lbs could be Water retention or Constipation. I kind of doubt they're going to care about just a couple of pounds, esp since it's the only time, but then again, it depends on your surgeon

It's important not to get caught up in a specific number - you haven't gained excessively and you have changed behaviors. We stress that your insurance company - whoever they are - is NOT THE BOSS OF YOU when it comes to pre-surgery diet programs. You Gained Weight During Your Pre-Op Diet . . . Now What? Good luck! no-diet-police-2

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
