Cant wait to see you on the loser's bench!

 Hi =)  I am currently going through the process of getting approval from Molina (Medicaid).  The first place to start is with your surgeon. They should have an insurance coordinator who will tell you everything you need to do based on what insurance you have, step by step--- and believe me, it's a lot! I can tell you it starts out with a 6mth documented diet supervised by a physician. Usually the standard for medicaid is poorly controlled co-morbidities. Other things that may qualify you is having to have knee or hip surgery but too heavy to have it done, diabetes, etc. You never know unless you try. I have been denied by Caresource before. I have gotten "sicker" and have changed insurances since then so...had to try again. If it helps, I've heard that Molina is more likely to approve you than the other Medicaid insurances. Good Luck!

Can anyone suggest a safe and normal route to conquering hot flashes and all the delightful things associated with Menopause? I have been on HRT from my doctor for over a year and although it really helps I am becoming nervous about all the side effects that's all over the news.  I will be talking to my doctor about alternatives, but I thought I would throw it out there to see what's working for bypass patients especially with the absorption problems we can have. So I hope to hear back with some good tips.

Thanks
