I had to read the book before and after by susan maria leach. She likes the zero carb isopure. There might be samples available online.

Sharekia,Bless your heart.The Doctor's office can tell you which Medicaid they will accept.I know what u r talking about because my Daughter is on Medicaid and if u don't tell them fast enough,they will just put u with any plan they want.Also,SC Medicaid can answer your questions about what the criteria are for having a revision.Do you live in the Charleston are?

OK, I need some assistance. I have an issue that spanns over several boards. Issue one, I am a post op (RNY, 2004). I started at 420 #s. I had RNY in May 2004 and got down to 272 #s. Today, I stand at a whopping 318 #s and I need a revision. I am always hungry, have SEVERE heartburn, and ulcers to boot! ISSUE 2, I just got back on SC medicaid and I was told by my PCP that MUSC does not take Blue Choice. I really want to work with Dr. Byrne for this procedure so could someone please tell me which type of medicaid is accepted by his office. Has anyone even had a revision with medicaid? I do not even know if it is possible but it's worth a try.  ISSUE 3, what are the medical necessities that are needed to constitute a revision? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RESPOND! THANKS!  Oh, I want to add that my BMI is 53.49 and I am 5 feet 2 inches.

I had surgery with Dr. Morris Washington in Myrtle Beach (Conway), South Carolina on 2/8/12. He and his staff have been fabulous. He has a cash price of $8000 whi*****ludes his cost (including nutrition and follow-up), anesthesia, endoscopy, and all hospital costs. He has done over 200 VSG's and is trying to get Conway Medical Center the Center of Excellence certification so they have joined forces and are offering a discounted fee. He practiced in NJ prior to moving to SC. I researched him thouroughly and found no derogatory info. Hope this helps.

I recommend Dr. Byrnes at MUSC. They have a really good program and sate of the art of facility.
