I am now waiting on my approval!

I went to my appt yesterday with Vanessa, and have been summitted for approval with medicaide. She has told me to start on the protein shakes 1 meal a day, get a doctor to prescribe diet pills, start the liquid vitamins and calcium. Her and Ms. Shelia hugged me and said "am I sure im ready for this?" YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like im in a dream that is finally unfolding.They said I did a great job getting all this ready, and after christmas to start all liquid diet, to get my body ready. Oh also EXERCISE! Im so excited! Thanks for reading! Love Leigh

how are things going with the approval at Dr. Bellows?? and if you dont mind me asking how long did it take for you to get an apt for him

A very sweet lady on here shared the number to Dr. Bellows with me May 18th. I called and had my first appointment set for June 16th but they canceled and moved it to July 6th. Now I am waiting on my letter from Medicaid saying that I can have the surgery. They take their time on things but eventually it will happen.

Well I too am playin the waiting game just to get her to fax over my stuff to medicaide. But I know it will happen also, and will be on the phone tomorrow morning. lol Keep me posted! Good luck!

Hey Leah. I called Medicaid yesterday and was told that I was approved. I am so ready. Sheila faxed on Dec 10. Medicaid put it into the system Dec 14th. Medicaid approved me on Dec. 27th. I hope that yours goes thru soon.  Keep me updated. I will let you know when I have my date....Sherri
