I don;t think that the sores are considered a comorbidity. I qualified on one comorbidity, high blood pressure, with a BMI of 45.

My next door neighbor is 65 and had hers covered by medicare. I think she paid $400 out of pocket. She said that the doctor didn't expect them to cover it, but it did.

Medicaid covered my panni removal, but I had to pay for the muscle tightening involved in the Tummy Tuck. This reduced my cost because medicaid covered the anesthesia and hosptial stay.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
