Ok. I had my nurse constultation and I had all my blood work drawn and met with the Phyc for the evaluation. Now, I met with the Bariatric Physician, dietitian and the physical therapist all in 2 days next week. Do anyone know what happens with these visits??

The Bariatric Physician does a basic physical and goes over current meds, the dietician will review your 3 day food journal and talk to you about how your eating will change after the surgery and the physical therapist talks with you about your current exercise, show you some exercises to do to start out, then take your pulse while you walk around the physical therapy room to help you figure out how the pace you should be walking at to get a good workout. They really aren't that bad. Just think after those appointments you are another step closer to surgery!

I have HealthPartners as well and also went through their phone counseling program. I found the information very helpful, the sessions were okay, although I learned more from the book than anything else. I hope that everything continues to go smoothly for you!
