Hi Elizabeth! I had Medicaid...if you look on my profile under December 2003, you will find the name and number of the lady to call to see how your case is progressing. Her name is Marilyn. I had no problems with my approval, but I met all criteria and had all testing and weight loss attempts done prior to submission. It was submitted via snail mail on 01/02/04 and I was approved on 01/15/04; I had my surgery on 02/04/04. Good luck, Sweetie! Sherry Open RNY 02/04/04 (Proximal-75 cm) 294.5/242.5/150 -52#
