I called Magee this morning and guess what!!! I am a candidate for surgery! Even better, I start their lifestyle classes tomorrow right after work (while I am slamming a burger down on the way no doubt)! The classes are only $20 which I figured was a good deal. I can see my PCP on Nov. 25 and let him know I have made this decision and that Magee will handle everything. I am not sure my PCP was equipped to do anything more than weigh me so the extra $10 copay I think is worth it. Plus Magee does it all. Has anyone else done this route at Magee? How does this work with your PCP?

 

Anyway, yay!!! BG you were right!!! I am on my way!!!!! :willy_nilly:

BG, what insurance do you have? I just called Highmark about the fills. She said that the fills are covered completely for as long as they are medically necessary. She also said I don't need my PCP to be involved at all!!!!! In fact, because we have a PPO plan (and I didn't know this) we don't even HAVE a PPO - huh, who knew???

SS, I also have Highmark PPO Blue. Fills for life? Even unfills? Wow- can that be true? ...and no PCP, really? I wonder if they cover the classes at Magee even? Now I'm a little bummed Magee turned me down; before my hypertension diagnosis...again, wished they'd had an ins. expert there so I'd have know all this. Thanks! BTW- New pic is great!

Thanks :cool: Yep, and she had been banded - the chickie I spoke with. So she said as long as they were medically necessary, fills and unfills for as long as you have the band. Isn't that awesome? The classes are NOT covered but the $20 for each one is a bargain I think. I had to get my PCP changed since he left his partner and that's when she told me no PCP when you have PPO. So I can get everything done at Magee. She said to follow the medical policy on their front page and you're golden!!!!

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
