Capital Health Plan (CHP)



Recommended Posts

Hi all!

I’m new here. Had my psych eval and she recommended this app (plus all the YouTube videos I’ve seen as well).

I am wondering if anyone has CHP... I only have 2 visits with a nutritionist (last one is at the end of this month) and one psych meeting.

Met with a pulmonologist and he said he’s not testing me for sleep apnea because he sees no reason, since I don’t wake up tired.

Only major things left are my cardiologist appt and endoscopy.

At the start of this, January 4th, my BMI was 41. I had the flu pretty bad, plus the supervised diet, I’m now down to 39.28. I have no comorbidities... except GERD, I’m guessing.

Sorry for being long winded!! I don’t have anyone to really talk to about all of this here so just looking for someone with a similar experience :)

It wasn’t too bad. Met with my surgeon January 4th 2018 and had my surgery April 25th 2018. There’s no 6 month supervised diet. Had to meet with a nutritionist twice if I remember correctly. Also had to see a few more doctors to make sure I didn’t have sleep apnea or any heart/lung problems. My PCP also had to send my surgeon a letter recommending me for surgery.

Best of luck!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
