2. How often do/did you see your nutritionist?
She was the person who ran the 6-month medically supervised diet. I met with her one-on-one at my initial appointment and at least one other time during the initlal 6 month period. I met with her at my pre-op appointment and at my 3-week post-op appointment. I'll see her at all the other post-op appointments, too.
3. Is your nutritionist a registered dietician?
Yes.
4. Is your nutritionist associated with your surgeon's office?
Yes. He has two nutritionists on staff.
5. Does your nutritionist give you advice that's in line with the ASMBS guidelines?
I don't know. I haven't studied the ASMBS guidelines. But she gives me advice that's in line with my surgeon's guidelines, and they're a Center of Excellence.
6. Do you find your nutritionist helpful?
Absolutely.
