Recommended Posts

So my long road just took a sharp curve in the right direction, I have had sooo much anxiety regarding this insurance that I about gave myself an ulcer. So to anyone with Priority Health ins in Michigan, I can give a thumbs up. It was less than a week for my approval. I will call today for my date prob aug sometime, I wanted to do July but have family coming to visit and don't want to be recovering.,( I am a "low BMIer, 40.4 to start and 40.7 at final weigh in, I am 5' 7 and about 262 no cormorbs)

This site has been wonderful, tons if info and support for me. I spoke to my surgeon about it, he said I was very "informed" and I said it was due to this site.

Anyway, I'm working my last day before vacation, so off I go, till next time....

Congrats on getting approved.

P.S. Please hold off on the throwing up till you're in the pre-op liquid diet - that way it will count towards your pre-op weight loss. :wacko:about-to-vomit.gif

Hi. I also have Priority Health and was wondering about the food logs. Did you fill those out and turn them in every monthly visit? My BMI is 43 and I have high blood pressure and sleep apnea. I am about 3 months into my 6 month dr. supervised diet requirement and have not lost anything or turned in any food journals. Just not sure what to expect from priority health when this 6 months is over with and I try to get approved for surgery. Thanks!

My Dr office took care of the logs, they required me to track what I ate on my fitness pal and print it out for a couple of the visits to see how I was doing. Otherwise the monthly visit would take care of that part, they would enter in my food and workouts, weight and BP. As long as your DR has it together you should be fine. Mine was an expert at dealing with prioritys ins requirements, I never missed an apt that is important and make sure they are around the same time each month. Let me know if these anything else I can help you with.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
