How long ago did you have your surgery? Did it take long for a surgery approval date. Help!!! I need some insight from somebody.

It all depends on your insurance. Fortunately for me I had state Medicaid so the process went by so quick. Once I saw the psychiatrist and the nutritionist I had to have a endoscopy, which unfortunately came back positive for H pylori, that set back my surgery date 2 weeks. So it took me about 3 months to have everything done it would have been shorter.

Did you have to have diabetes for the medicaid to approve you? I keep being told that and it worries me as I have borderline diabeties but I am not diabetic.

I was never told that was a requirement. My surgeon's office took care of everything for me as far as to get me qualified. At the seminar everyone was told to have a physic evaluation, and we were refered to a nutritionist. They basically told me what to do and i did it. On the first visit they set up a date for my endoscopy. Once that was cleared i recieved a date.

I have not heard as of yet any being denied by medicaid. Check your medicaid plan, find out which plan ur Dr. accept and make sure. Each medicaid plan has there own requirements. When i went to my seminar , i was advised to switch to the medipass plan because they move fast.

      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! 😞
