:w00t: I do know that here in PA, you must have a Doctor in a center of excellance, and see your pcp

for 6 months dieting with calories, before you can start the surgery process, I know I have been waiting for 2 years and finally my surgion received his center of excellance. I'm getting started my first visit with the surgion is July 1, 2010 I can't wait :thumbup: This is a dream come true,

I've been overweight since I had my son 29 years ago. Lose 30 lbs. and then put it back on plus more, I am ready for a new life...

He everyone. I have michigan medicaid, a bmi of 52, and sleep apnea. I started the process of trying to get approval from medicaid. I am so nervous, I do not know what I will do if I am denied. I NEED this.

Does anyone have any encouragement or will share their journey with medicaid??? Thanks in advance
