pre-6 month diet valadtion



Recommended Posts

I am looking for a Dr. in Lincoln who can document the 6 month diet for insurance. I already did one 6 month diet that the Dr. did not document the way my surgeon needs.

What was wrong with the way your doctor did the documentation? Is there a form that you surgeons could have you doctor fill out? I had my surgery done in Omaha and don't know any from Lincoln, hope you can get this fixed. I know that you must be frustrated.

Not the way your surgeon wants it or the insurance?

I have to ask that my Doc write SPECIFICS on the progress notes. She nods and then I day, PLEASE, please write down that I am on a low fat/low cal diet and that we discussed exercise and record the weight.

I actually hover until I see her write it.

I'm not doing this #$^ for 6 months to have a denial waiting for because of wording.

Whether it is your surgeon or Ins. ask if you can have a note placed in your record with any other info they might need.

If you were on a 6 month with your doc, what was it they still needed?

This infuriates me as they don't understand what a setback a few words can cause.:lol:

      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! 😞
