My medicaid caseworker called and woke me up at 8am with news that they approved my surgery!!!!!!!!! I was floored! Last I heard they had changed their policy and now require 18 months of supervised dieting (they changed it in July or August while I was in the middle of my dieting). The caseworker called and told me that I still had 10 months of dieting to do and I was like "WHAT WHAT WHAT?!?!" Fortinately the coordinator at my surgeon's office talked to her and they worked it out but needed a letter from my doctor (thanks to someone who posted their letter on here, I copied it, made it appropriate for me and gave it to my doctor to print on her letterhead and sign...she read it and said "I sound so smart") a couple more things from my chart and they wanted some additional psych testing. Well, my therapist called the reviewing doctor and convinced her I didn't need any extra testing. So I sent the letter "from my doctor" and a personal letter from me. Those things were submitted last week. I totally expected them to come back at me again for more stuff or a flat out denial! I have to attend classes (mandatory from the WLS group) in March and I'll proabbly have the surgery sometime in April!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all! I'm so excited! I know time will fly by...especially with the classes, the pre-op stuff, on top of being in school and having a 15 month old running around. Plus all the usually preparing and planning and all that jazz.
