Andd this is the probably the 4th time ive heard about gawbladder removal. What gives? Surely its not a requirement is it?

Congrats n good luck on ur surgery! I actually had some good luck today to. I was going to nix which is about 3 hrs from me but today i found a surgeon who accepts medicaid right here in my city of corpus! The lady is really nice and i go for the seminar sept 1st. That will be the beginning of a long process, but im more than ready. Lets do this ladies!

Yea. They know I have medicaid. They said the consul and the surgery are covered. I think 50 dollar fills. They said it takes about 6 mths for some reason. Im just hoping im not on the pre op diet for the whole 6 mths. V- how do u like carcamo? How many times hve u seen him? Are you on the pre op diet yet?

Heyy ladies. Thanks for replying. Andd id love to stay in touch Im so nervous. I have an app with carcamo at nix but am thinking of seeing if i can switch to wright. My onlyy insurance is medicaid. Which makes me even more nervous. Is there any certain reason u guys chose wright over carcamo?

Im just starting the WLS process with my first consultation app in san antonio on sept 10. Ive read alot but still have questions, fears, and would love to have someone in my area thats etheir had or going to have the surgery. I am super anixious and need some advice and just some support. Hopefully I came to the right place. #lostintx

Any help/advice given is appriciated!!

Thanks ladys As i read the forum i find myself with more questions. For example the pre op diet? How long and how much weight do u generally hve to lose? Second. What exactly is the "green zone" everyone is talking about? Any help?

Ive been seeing alot about the pre op diet. Something about losing 10% of your body weight. And they did say the surgery would be scheduled 6 mths later. So im wondering. Is this true? Do all surgeons require this? Is this what takes the 6 mths?

Thanks for the advice. I started a new thread so maybe others will respond to.

Just joined this great app today and just figured out how to start a thread. I am currently on medicaid and am going in for my consultation visit next month. I am currently and have been treated and have been on meds for years for depression with anixity as well as problems sleeping. However ive heard you have to have a pysc evaluation before the surgury. Will they deny me because of my mental condition. I want to be open and honest with the doctor but am terribly afraid of being denied. :/ can anyone give any advice? Anyone had the surgery with a mental health problem such as mine?
