Guest guest Posted June 8, 2000 Report Share Posted June 8, 2000 Hi Tonya! Welcome aboard! If you are just starting on the process of applying for the MGB, first thing to do is go to http://www.clos.net and fill out the online patient questionnaire. That is what Dr. R. uses to send to your insurance company and it gets the ball rolling. Be sure to print off two copies of the online patient questionnaire, too, because you will have to have one when you go to your first clinic (or otherwise you will have to fill it out again at the clinic) and you will want one for yourself. While you are waiting on that, you can be getting all the other things you need together in one packet (read about it in the patient manual, also online at http://www.clos.net): 1. Your own written patient letter (it has to be 5-10 pages long and cover all the risks and benefits of the surgery. You will find all this in the patient manual). 2. Your family doctor's support letter 3. A support letter from your family 4. Two good pictures of you (dressed), one full-length from the side, and another full-length from the front. 5. Your last few years' medical records (only stuff that is significant, not routine colds, things like that). 6. (These have to be done within 30 days of your surgery, so wait until after you get insurance approval and have a surgery date and get these): Physical exam, mammogram, PAP test Bloodwork: CBC & electrolytes EKG Your insurance may require that you prove you have had a year or more of physician supervised weight loss efforts in the past. If you have seen your family doctor about your weight in the past, s/he may be willing to write you a letter saying " I have been the phsyician for Tonya for the past __ years, during which time she has been unsuccessful in many weight loss programs, including weight loss using (Meridia, phen-fen, etc.) " Your insurance may also require you to have a psychological examination to determine if you are competent to decide on the surgery. You may be able to get around this by having your family physician write something to the effect, " I have counseled Tonya on the risks and benefits of weight loss surgery and I am satisfied that she is mentally competent to make this decision and to follow the post-surgery requirements. " Otherwise, you can make an appointment with a psychiatrist and get an evaluation. Kind regards, > Hello to everyone my name is Tonya.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 My daughter has been on this diet since the beginning of January. She had a severe reaction to her last DPTP shot (18 mont and started with a seizure disorder and after 2 years she started to loose control over all her fine and gross motor skills and speach. for the past 10 years we have tried many things starting seizure medication and antibiotics and than moved on to the holistic approach. We found that homeopathic remedies work very well for her (not control the seizures, but colds etc.) Question I have can she still take the homeopathic globulies? Being on this diet, I have noticed that she gets constipated when I give her to much almond flour. She sometimes had a problem with constipation. How much almond flour is good for you a day. I am trying to put weight on her. She is 14 years old and weights 52 pounds. Your answer is appreciated . beate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
