So Very Soon!

Jun 23, 2014

 OK, I waited until after my nutritionist visit to post. I met with Lise today.  First of all, for someone who has had gastric bypass my labs were very good. My only deficiency is with Vitamin D and I am currently taking 50,000 units for that for 8 weeks. My iron, B-12 and protein levels were on the low side of normal but they were in the normal range. I remembered the diet completely and the only thing that is different with this surgeon from the surgeon 5 years ago is that I can eat certain vegetables. I was thrilled to get protein samples and vitamins. She gave me enough B-12 and iron for 2 months!

The next bit of good news is that I called my insurance company to see if my surgery was approved and it has not been yet. I asked if they could expedite the process at all and they said my doctor has to do that. I called my surgeon's office and they are sending the request for it to be expedited TODAY! I will have an answer in 3-5 business days!!!!
