has anyone from Michigan used dr. Jeffrey smith or dr. ernest cudjoe from great lakes surgical? located in alma mi and midland mi

I have not yet been approved for the surgery im waiting on that but im getting extreme anxiety about the surgery its self.....all the scary stuff like what if something goes wrong!??? im second guessing myself....can anyone ease my mind and how did u get thru it if anyone has had these same fears please help!

thanks so much this helps a lot im still far away from approval as my papers were just turned in yesterday and I have Medicaid so it could be a long wait but im anxious and nervous but im totally thinking of the positives glad you are doing well and good luck on your journey

thank u so much to everyone who commented on this it has made me smile and think of the positive this site has helped me in so many ways and having strangers give such encouragement to me like im family is so supportive and im thankful

I need some support for the process of weight loss with mclaren Medicaid......anyone have this insurance that has been through the approval process?

i was told I had to do a 12 month weigh documentation with my family doctor and lose a total of 10lbs, this info came from surgeons office stating that this is what my insurance requires, I have McLaren Medicaid. so I do the 12 months in a row I lost a few lbs gained a few lbs thru the 12 months so sept 26th 2014 my doc turns in my documentation well he forwards it to the surgeons office and they send it to insurance, well nothing has been sent in the lady at the surgeons office is rude telling me I have to lose 10 lbs or ill be denied andto continue going to drs each month till I lose 10lbs then she will send to insurance cuz as of now she said ill get denied so ok im going to do that but then I call my insurance and I only had to do 6 months of documentation but had to lose weight each month well I didn't so now I have to do 6 months all over again to possibly get approved. can anyone tell me the right answer please I need help

thank u all im just so frustrated that I did a whole year under false information I have done nothing but cry and be depressed makes moving forward very hard does anyone have McLaren Medicaid that can help me with understanding their approval?
