<p><p>Hello everyone! I have Medicare which requires to jump through so many hoops before the surgery. I'm just wondering if anyone else has gone through the same thing??? Medicare requires a 3-month doctor/dietician supervised diet pre-op. I guess they want to see if I can lose weight. That really sucks. Also, I have a major amount of paperwork to get together from all of my doctors regarding my medical conditions such as high blood pressure and sleep apnea. And finally, I have to see a psychologist and be cleared for surgery. I guess I just want to know what anyone else has experienced going through Medicare. Thanks a bunch!! Oh, my doctor is Dr. Robert Davis in Houston, Texas. He is on the show "Big Medicine" that airs on TLC just in case anyone wants to know. <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/bandit.gif" border="0" alt="" title="bandit" smilieid="35" class="inlineimg" /></p></p>
