Sherri, you have to stay on top of them.................... they done my the same way that they are doing you!!!! I had to make a appt and go up there and that is when Vanessa wrote my report in front of me, and they faxed it all while I was there! Just keep bugging the **** out of them!!!!

Hello Louisianians.


I have heard that there is at least 2 surgeons in the state that are doing ( self pay ) sleeves for about 10.000.

Can someone please give me their names. My friend in GA. is interested in having the procedure done.

Thanks so much !!!

I talked to Sheila Monday and she said that Vanessa is on Vacation and that  She may or may not get my stuff sent off to medicaid next week before Thanksgiving. If not she will not send it until the following week. All she is waiting on is for Vanessa to write the necessity letter to go with my stuff.  I just get so aggravated because they have had all of my stuff for two weeks now. Yet nothing has been done to get it sent off. I jumped through all of these hoops to get my stuff done but yet they are overwhelmed with appointments so I have to wait until they get ready to finish my stuff before I can get submitted. Then I have to wait up to 30 days for an acceptance letter then I get to schedule surgery.   I started all this in May and now seems like I will have to wait until the new year to get my surgery. Just very frustrated.  We just might have surgery around the same time. I am so ready for all of this to be over and have my surgery.

Im real sorry ur having such a hard time still! Im sure it will get better!   Leigh

Thanks for the positive message. And I have come to terms, and ur right, my back and knees will thank me!      Thanks again!   Leigh
