SUMMARY:UAB St. Vincent's East Bariatric Surgery Program RECHARGE Class
DESCRIPTION:RECHARGE is specialized education for bariatric surgery patients greater than 1 year post surgery who may be experiencing nutritional issues\, plateau\, weight recurrence or even just need follow-up\, guidance and answers to questions on long term life after surgery. This course was created to address the need for continual education and follow up for long term patients after surgery as we move past the first-year.  \n\nThe class is held virtually and is facilitated by Aimee Rothe BSN\, RN\, CEN\, CBN\, TCRN\, NHDP-BC\, AFAA-Board Certified Fitness Instructor and Bariatric Surgery Program Director at UAB St. Vincent’s East. Aimee is a post operative bariatric surgery patient herself and views the post operative lifestyle not just as a healthcare provider who specializes in bariatrics but also as a patient herself. Our specialized Bariatric Dietitian Claire Nesbitt RD\, LD also facilitates the course. \n\nInitial Class: The initial virtual classroom portion of the course is taught over a 4-hour time frame.  It covers different topics associated with issues long term patients may be facing and involves open discussion and conversation with others who may be sharing the same issues as you. Some of the things covered in the course include: The “why” behind regain and plateau\, what life looks like as a long-term patient\, Macronutrients and Nutrition\, Meeting Non-Hunger Needs\, The Brain side of Nutrition\, Vitamins\, Exercise for long term success\, Habit Changes\, Portion Control\, Meal Prep.  \nThe class fee is $25.00 which covers all course materials and your 3 1:1 follow up appointments (virtual or in person) with the registered dietitian after completion of class. Class Cost must be paid at the time of registration via credit card/debit card. The cost is not covered by insurance. Class fees are set and apply to all patients\, and the program nor surgeon’s office is unable to waive these fees. The program does not accept cash or checks for payment.  \nYour course materials and specific\, very important pre-class instructions to include virtual class log in link will be attached to the confirmation email you receive on registration.
