Topic: LGBT forum invitation
Hello,
I just wanted to let people know there is a forum for the community and anyone who is friendly and want to stop by. I was very active 3 years ago and would like to see it become active again. It is listed under "weight loss related"
I am not attempting to offend anyone. I understand that some might not agree with me posting. I am doing it to help LGBT people. Everyone has the right to not agree. I respect that.
Thank You !
Sean
If you have trouble finding it just PM me

Topic: Has anyone had Non-Trad Medicaid pay for Sugery without a Disability?
My husband is a Full time Student and niether of us are working right now. So we are on Non-Traditional Medicaid. The Weight Loss Center said that only Trad. Medicaid will cover WLS if your BMI is over 40 (which mine is).
Has anyone else had surgery using Medicaid here in Utah?
Thanks for your help!

That is way wierd because the Salt Lake Regional hospital has two Dr.'s that are registered at that center of excellence. That is the only way that my Dr.'s would be approved. I wonder what listing they were looking at. I would fight that if I were you, or maybe just call them and tell them that the one is SLC is in fact a COE.
My Dr. stated last year when I saw her that she would have me do the 2 week pre-op diet of drinking only liquids so it would shrink my liver and she could go in laprascopically, so that's the freakiest thing that I think I'm looking ahead at.
Well, good luck, and yes keep me posted for sure!

I know it's crazy but according to Aetna there is not a registered center of excellence in the Sate of Utah? It would of been nice to not have to go so far but my choice was AZ, CO, and NV so I went with AZ as it was closer...
I will keep you posted as I get closer to the surgery.... :)

Wow! AZ huh? That's weird. With the excellence center being in SLC, you would think they would want you to go there. That is where I'm going to have my surgery at. My BMI was 41 before, and now I think I'm down to 37. Well, thanks for your comment, and good luck on your surgery. Keep us all posted!
