Answer to the Nutritionist Question
Patti,
I talked to Becky at Dr. Blackstone's today and asked about the nutritionist consult. She's says that it is required by Cigna. It is supposed to be with a registered dietician and the purpose of it is to go over diet now and after wls. I guess they want to make sure that you know what you are getting yourself into and are making an informed decision. Dr. Blackstone has a dietician at her office, but she is not covered by Cigna and the cost for the consult is 75.00. I made an appointment with a Cigna dietician for Monday and hope that she will cover what needs to be covered. I'll let you know how that goes. Connie
