Priscilla, I know this is very difficult for you, and I hope you are able to lose the weight Dr. Scott is requiring and not lose your medicaid. I know things are very difficult in MO now with all of the medicaid cuts. I met Dr. Scott this week for the first time. I know his reputation is excellent, and he and doctor de la Torre have developed many of the procedures and tools used in the surgery. They are cited in writing by other professionals. Keep coming back to the boards for support. I have read about others who had to lose a lot of weight before surgery. Have you posted on the main board? I think you will find support there too. Linda
