i had blood work done, ekg,ultra sounds on my legs and belly,pulmonary fuction test,sleep aptnea test,physical,upper endoscopy,chest x-ray,psych elulation,sports medciane consult, and nutrionion class and all those were all done by december my last nutrionist class was done feb 5th which made my 6 months of dietian visits your doctors office does things different i guess eh

Nope my surgeon is in lewiston his names is dr loggins im from auburn so and yeah ur doctor seems like it they do it backwards cause they got all mys tuff done then sendt me to pre op after i got my sugery date they usually dont send u to pre op unless ur acually going to get approved its weird

yeah i got into my first appiotment september 12th then got into my nutrionist class septemember 24th then after that i did all my appiotments my last one was in december and i had my last nutrionist appiotment on febuary 5th which made 6 months of nutrionist appiotments my phych was like the 5th appiotment i did . i got that out of the way but after my last appiotment on the 5th then 8th they submitted and had a answer on the 10th and i found out the 11th that i got approved and have a sugery date for the 22nd did my pre op yesterday on valentine day and got that out of the way i had to loose 28 pounds prior to getting sugery they want me to do a 2 day liquid diet to clean myself out but im super duper excited i hope you get sugery soon i will  keep u updated on how it goes

This hasn't happened tome YET, but whenI asked about it at the nutritionist visit, they told me to make sure I get my protein...that nothing else would help.  Good luck to you!

I actually work for the company that is doing the MaineCare operations.  I will check the requirements in the morning because I wasn't aware they had changed.  Even then the 6 months is a good thing because it helps you make the changes and wrap your head around what is to come.  Best of luck to you!
