So I am covered my AZ Medicaid Mercy Care (or Mercy Care AHCCCS) and will be leaving for college (like really far away) soon like in the middle of august (so if i started 6 months now i would already be out of state by that time). I am well over the 40 BMI mark and have been overweight for quite sometime and I have documented weight loss attempts within the last year (although there were no monthly weigh-ins) My co-morbidites are PCOS, Insulin Resistance, sleep Apnea and back pain. nothing (besides the IR) is officially diagnosed but after some tests it will easily be proven and on my record. I'm pretty sure i've gained a good 3 pounds per month for the last 20 months (which is very abnormal for my age group says my doctor) and my risk for diabetes keeps getting higher and higher. Do you think they would either shorten or waive the 6 month waiting period for me? and if so, how should i go about doing that?

  Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed. I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

  Two months out from hiatal hernia repair. Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end. That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

    As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
