Topic: RE: not sure what to do

Just be very honest with the Dr. and with yourself.  Perhaps this is a new different start.

I myself never made it to goal and I have waited almost 13 years and I am hoping for a new start.

Keep your chin up.

Hello everyone,

Has anyone had a revision done in IL by a Dr. Bipan Chand?

I have been in contact with his office and am starting the process of getting a revision and would very much like more information.

Thank you,

Penny

Topic: RE: Medicaid approval

I have medicaid not straight medicaid though. I picked a health care plan during open enrollment (omnicare). I am scheduled for surgery April 30th. I have no illnesses AT ALL. I do have mild arthritis though. What is your BMI?

Topic: Medicaid approval

I went through the seminar and all the preliminary appointments for sleeve surgery and actually had surgery scheduled only to be denied because I didn't have an "uncontrolled life endangering event such as uncontrolled high blood pressure or diabetes". Has anyone got approved by Medicaid without an uncontrolled life endangering event? I have a higher risk for breast cancer recurrence because of my weight, lymphodema, reflux, esophagitis, hiatal hernia, chronic fatigue syndrome, a family history of obesity, cancer, high blood pressure and diabetes but no "uncontrolled life endangering event" they said. Please let me know your experience with Medicaid approval.

Topic: RE: MEDICAID AND MEDICARE SURGEONS LIST!

I have researched and found a couple of place for Medicaid but my problem is that Medicaid denied it because I didn't have an "uncontrolled life endangering event such as uncontrolled high blood pressure or diabetes". Has anyone got Medicaid to approve bariatric surgery without this?
