The WISH Center and Medicare

Anyone in WA State ever had surgery at the WISH center and been on Medicare???

Hi there my lost friend. I check with the Wish Center and they do not take Medicare. They are one of the upper status wls. Ok see ya later. Tee

I've been here Where have you been? I'm getting ready to go to my surgeon consult right now. YAY! By the time I get home I'll have a surgery date WHOOOOOOO HOOOO! I'm so excited I can't stand it! I'll talk to you tonight girlfriend Kim

They told me earlier this year that they just started taking it but I was their first patient. They expected me to do all the billing legwork since they ddin't know what they were doing, I found Dr. Simonowitz in Bellevue who took medicare and the wait list was very short. I had my surgery May 3, 04 and have lost 97 lbs already!! Love, Kim

Thanks Kim... Dr Simonwitz was my first choice, but he got in an accident and wouldn't be bac****il Sept, and then he'd be backed up on patients. So I then found Dr Thirlby who I'm totally impressed with... I have to wait til' Oct 12, but hey, I can do it right? Thanks for the info Kim and congrats on your WL. Love God~ Kimanne
