Hi Cimberly! Welcome back! I'm not sure how much I can help you, but will try. The only thing recently which has changed..insurance requirement wise...is that as of July, Indiana State law mandates that only a 6 month physician supervised diet can be required. No more 18 months! However there is a glitch in it...which won't apply to you since you are on Medicaid. For Medicaid, it became affective july 1st. For insurance carriers, it doesn't become affective until the insurance carrier renews their contract with the employer. The majority of places have their physical year from January 1st to December 31st, so for them, it won't be affective until January 1st of next year. There are new names on the boards all the time! Isn't it exciting!!! So many new post-ops and so many saying 'ok, I am ready for a lifestyle change!'. It seems like yesterday that I was one of them and here it's been almost 2 years. Times just flies by! Have a fantastic day! Sherri
