Hi everyone...I'm definitely new with all of this. Amazing reading of all of your success! I wondered if anyone has had UHC Community Plan through KS Medicaid? If so, how did your approval process go? Did you have issues with diet history/physician supervised diet?
It really depends on what time of the year you are doing it. I picked the day I wanted but could have had it sooner. I had VSG with Dr. Hu!
Hope you are still headed there this weekend and are on your way! She is smart, quick and wise. You are in good hands. I actually prefer her, Dr Dunshee and have seen Dr. Cancelada when I had another issue, but he does not do the DS. She is skilled and did mine lap. She has performed other surgeries on people I know with success.
Good luck and let us former patients know if we can help in any way.

I went to the seminar for Tallgrass in January. Dr Berntsen has performed multiple surgeries on my mom but not WLS. She's an amazing DR, and I really like her bedside manner. The nurse coordinator wanted my medical records and a sleep apnea test done before they'd schedule a consult with a surgeon. It seems like they are very efficient and try to take care of insurance requirements quickly. I feel like I've been waiting forever to see a surgeon though. I think it's just so once you meet your surgeon, you get started on the approval process. Good luck :):)

Ok, thanks. I'll look into it and see if I qualify. Thanks again.
You have to apply at Department of Children and Families(the old SRS)
Have you tried applying? Another avenue if you are unable to work is go for disability with Social Security. I could be wrong, but medicaid was approved for those on disability who are not yet covered by medicare.
My understanding is all Kansas Medicaid programs cover WLS now. It still takes a lot of qualifying to get it done.

Do you have Amerigroup, Sunflower State, or United Healthcare medicaid plan?
