Because my BMI is so high >50, I do not need to do a 6 month diet, however; it's been a very long wait proccess to me. Grated I started doing all my appointments in April and I still don't have a surgery date. But I have everything done for my packet of paperwork. I had that completed at the end of May. I do know that I will have a few more NUT classes, more blood work, and I think another visit with the surgeon. But what I'm not sure about is if I will be approved for surgery with my insurance before all of those other appointments.
Here is a list of appointments that I had to do:
Referral from PCP, so a check-up so to speak
Surgery Seminar-Informational session
Doctors visit with Surgeon and NUT, same day appointment
Sleep Apena testing and CPAP trial, two appointments
Two therapy sessions- Therapist needed to write a letter that says, "Patient is stable for surgery."
Two group support sessions, Mandatory.
Blood work and stool sample
Psych Eval, my girl friends tell me I'm already nuts, so that was kinda pointless I new that outcome
I must say that I had my yearly up to date and I think that helped as well.
I hope this information helps.
Take care,
Kim~
