Good news!! I received a call from HRH yesterday for my trio appointment for next week, well I see the nurse and nutritionist on Monday and the dietician on Feb 11th. The nurse on the phone gave me a list of things that I need to bring and do but I am wondering if anyone can give me any more detailed advice on some of the questions or information that that I need to know or that they will be asking me please?

It seems like it was so long ago for me!!

The nurse goes over your medical history, takes your BP, does some measurements. They will want a summary of any meds that you take currently. That was about it if I remember correctly.

I don't recall having a Nutritionist and Dietician but again the Dietician went over my dieting history. They'll ask about your current eating habits and set you up with what you need to be doing until your next appointment. If I recall the initial meeting with these specialists were more of a get to know about you.

Good luck!

The nurse was the easiest of the three. She took BP, measurements, etc. But she will ask you to tell her what the RNY surgery is in your own words. So know it and the parts as well. The dietitian will ask you what changes you've made so far like more water, less junk food, cut out pop, caffeine , etc. The social worker will ask of any history of having therapy, etc. She will ask you if you are still binge eating. Do NOT admit to it. Tell them what they wanna hear. I had Dr. Huynh at HRRH. You will be fine. Good luck :)

Sorry just need to make a correction to my post I'm seeing the nurse and social worker next week not nutritionist.

Awesome, I am glad things are moving for you!

I had my orientation there Nov 9th. I am still waiting for a call for my 'surgeon' appointment. It was my understanding that we got our trio appointment then. After reading your post, it appears that isn't the case. Do you mind sharing your timeline so far? Then I can have an idea of what to expect.

My timeline was a little bit different because I was already in the medical bariatric program and when I met with Dr. Glazer he put me into the surgical program and sent me to see Dr. Hagen. I went to my orientation last October and I just got the call for the trio appointment for next week.

Dr. Hagen is amazing. Very experienced. You are very lucky :) I wish I had him. I had Dr. Huynh. He was okay.
