Topic: RE: My Story on Getting Approved for WLS w/ Medicaid
Debbie, I just read your profile. I hope and pray that you can have your surgery this year. Way to go for hanging in there, and filing the appeal! Hang in there. I am confident that you will be successful.  It is worth all the struggles you have been through! Keep us posted and let us know if you need anything along the way.

Topic: My Story on Getting Approved for WLS w/ Medicaid
I am really not too good with posting on here much due to time and not having a good computer.  But I have posted much about my story over time with medicaid under my profile to try and help those who like me in the beginning was getting absolutely no where.  Especially when on my first PCP I started with had no idea how to contact them correctly or write a letter and send records (she just sent a 3 sentence note and no records).  We waited forever and wondered why there was no responce until I found out what she did when she gave me a copy months later. 

Anyway, I have been through quite a process.  I hope my story will help and give an idea.  Keep in mind it will take time and to never give up!  I am still in the process but the ball is rolling!  Best wishes to you all!!!

Hugs,

Debbie

Hi there! Not doing pathways, had Group Health, but wanted to wish you luck on your surgery! You mention Navy Hospital, so I'm assuming you are a Kitsap person!

Good luck,
Take Care,

Hi there!

I've just finished my pathway section and now have an appointment to see the surgeon next week.  My seminar was in July but now I've heard the list is getting through faster.  I don't know about removing yourself from the list, I would not worry about it.  They seem to be on top of where everyone is in the process.  Unless the surgeon convinces me otherwise, I'm interested in having the VSG, I see you are wanting the band.  Good luck to you and I'll be looking for your posts on progress.
