Topic: RE: MEDICAID AND MEDICARE SURGEONS LIST!

 

Hi Rachel  :)

 

    I don't know about the surgery.  But when I was in Dr Cottam's office the other day there was a sign posted that read "Medicaid no longer pays for band adjustments"

     You might want to call a surgeons office and ask them.

 Good luck

 Hello, my name is Rachel. I was curious if anyone has ever seen someone with Medicaid get approved for Lap Band? I am nervous that I will not be able to get the help that I need so desperately.

I am a single mom, so I know it will be next to impossible to get any kind of help. If anyone has any useful information, boy it sure would help. 

Thank you,

Rachel

I was approved for surgery today!  Wooooohoooooooo!

I hope it is soon!  Dr Richard's office said they will call me Monday for a pre surgery appointment.

Oh Happy Day!

Hi everyone  :)

     I live in Roy Utah, am 45, married to a wonderful man and I am hoping to have Lap GB soon.  I am waiting to hear back from my insurance Co (Altius) as we speak.  Cross your fingers and hope for the best!~

     I have been on diets since I was 9 years old.  I have dieted my way up to 260.  On my 5'2" frame I look like a apple with legs.  LOL  Actually I have lost down to 229.  My God it was haaaaaaard!  I think that is the most rediculous requirement.  I mean, if I could lose the weight by myself, don't you think I would have done it already?! 

     I suffer from psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondilitis, NASH and Type II diabetes.  TaDa!  And for my next trick, I'll make my Diabetes disappear.  LOL

     Right now I am looking for a walking partner in Roy.  Sometimes I feel kinda weird about walking by myself so I mostly walk at night. 

      Anyone in my area?

Waves to all

Sorry I'm so late getting in the discussian...but just had to chime in.

After getting permission from hubby, I joined 2 sites dedicated to swinging.

Yup.  My sex drive increased so much I had to find someone to keep up. 

Who knew it would unleash something.

Hi I am Judith Z and new to this site. I've been a Real Estate agent for 11 years in SLC, and have lived in Utah for 20+ years. My surgery is June 17 and I am looking forward to regaining my energy and strength.  My husband and I are able to travel alot and the last few trips haven't been as much fun because I can't walk very far. That said, my goal is to be able to travel and enjoy it!

I did notice that the Utah site is kind of sparce, hopefully it will begin to grow and fullfill our need for information and support.
