Medicare Anyone?



Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone else here has Medicare and any suggestions on how we can make sure they pay for it and not give us a hard time?

I have Medicare and had no trouble at all with them paying "their share". I can't really give you any suggestions on how to make sure they pay because I was VERY LUCKY and had a company called "T.W.I.G.S" (the weight is gone support) do ALL the work for me. I did nothing but the pre-op tests and have the surgery. I was one of the very very lucky ones. Maybe someone else can give you some help. Sorry :) I was no help.

Good luck!!!

I don't know where the surgery can be done but I just got a notice from Medicare that lapband surgery is cleared for

Patients above 35 BMI and one comorbidity....Yeah!:clap2:

There was a report about this on our news last night. It's nice that the government is doing this and the neat thing is that the insurance companies usually follow suit and allow for coverages that Medicare allows.

      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! 😞
