27 days after my surgeon submitted my paperwork and clearances, I got the call today that I've been approved! The next call I receive will be from the surgical scheduler with some possible dates! I am so excited!!
For Michigan Straight Medicaid, I had to have an echo, EKG, stress test, chest xray, A1C labs, other blood labs, and a psych consult. No 3-6 month medical diet.
I'm 5'9 and my BMI is 45. I have HBP, I'm pre-diabetic, I have arthritis in my hips, knees, ankles and neck, venous insufficiency of the lower extremities, stress incontinence, and random rashes. I've had estrogen-positive breast cancer, which let to a complete hysterectomy. My thyroid function is perfect.
I cannot begin to tell you how thrilled I am and how determined I am to do the hard work ahead of me!
WOOT!!
