Questin about # of appointments for 6 months diet???



Recommended Posts

Okay.... I started my 6 months of supervised diets at the end of October (1st WL visit) . I went the end of November (2nd WL visit), end of December(3), beginning of February(4), beginning of March (5) and will go in a few days April (6). Each time I go the next appointment gets put back a little more than a month, more like a month and 5 or so days. At my last appointment my PA said I only had one more visit. I though I had 2 left, one at the beginning of my 6th month (April) and then another at the END of the 6th month. So, my question is... on the six month supervised diet do peole usually just go at the beginning of the six months or do they have to go at the end of the last month too???

Thanks!

Shari

Shari,

It is my understanding that you HAVE to have 6 visits which document your height, weight, the diet regimen you are following as well as any exercise. However, depending on when you started, it may actually take you 7 months. I was really trying to clear this up for you but now I'm not sure I've cleared anything up! ;)

My advice to you is to write down all the dates you saw your provider, call your insurance company and let THEM tell you if you're done or not. Better safe than sorry!!

Good Luck!

      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?
