  1. Its a local insurance company CDPHP. Capital District Physicians Health Plan. I do have some online info but I am not sure it spans 6 months. . . have about a month of info (weightloss info) currently. If I have to self-pay I will, I am just scared about the possibility of something going wrong and then that also being not covered.
  2. My first consult is in a month and I have only told one person, my aunt. She is extremely supportive but I am afraid to tell anyone else. I can't offer advice but I understand . . .I know I will run into similar opinions from my family.
  3. I am a nursing student. . . during my clinical days. . .I am on my feet all day and have to lift patients etc. In all the guidelines it says 6 wks before returning to physical activities. I have 4wks during winter break. If I got out of the heavy lifting portion . . . do you think I could be ok with the "on my feet all day?".
  4. I am just embarking on this journey and have CDPHP. I am 100lbs overweight and have a BMI of 40. I have no co-morbidites that are documentated. In your experience am I in for the run-around from cdphp?
  5. Hello All. I am also very new to this process I just made my intial appointments. I meet with my primary tomorrow and I have my intial consult july 28th. I am nervous. I am really afraid of hearing the word no.
  6. Hello Everyone. I have just made my first consult appointment. . . I was hoping to find some advice regarding this journey? I am 26 and have been overweight my entire life. I have tried too many diets and weightloss tools. I have never had these things formally documented by my doctor, do you think this is going to hurt me? I am 100lbs. at least maybe 110lbs. overweight and my BMI is 40. I don't have any other documented co-morbidities. Any help is appreciated.:thumbup:
