So here is another update. Since I last was on here I got my SSI and medicaid. YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY okay now I had lost 175lbs but had to put some back on to be able to walk. Dr. said find a surgeon to do the skin removal and I will refer you. Great I think. SO I go out on the hunt. Every surgeon I find that said they take MEDICAID ends up not taking it. SO I luck up after about 4 months and find one that says try care something or other so I do and they grant me a loan as soon as I find a surgeon so I think I am making head way and go back to the SAME dr that told me what he accepted and told him I got it lets go even had my PCP send over the referral only for him to tell me he stopped accepting that type of self-pay. FREAKING GREAT. So back to the drawing board I go. Call people that are on different tv shows NO calls back till this DAY!! So finally a dr in TX tells me with me having over 200+ more pounds to lose there isn't a dr that will do the skin removal until I loose that. SO GREAT now what am I suppose to do. IF I lose the weight... I am bed-ridden If I don't I'm house RIDDEN and fat. So after long long long hurtful crying night and discussions with my family I decided. If I am gonna die because of this WEIGHT I will die TRYING to lose it. SO now I am on the hunt for a surgeon in GA that takes SSI medicaid and it ISN'T wellcare SO THEREFORE it has to be AMERIGROUP but who knows because you can NEVER GET A HUMAN on those damn line to save your life. SO what the hell just find a surgeon that takes it and file.This Friday I go back to my pcp and I'm just gonna lay it out to her plain and simple. I need you to write a referral and sign it and make copies to give to me so I can send them to the DRS. I find because this is RIDCULOUS that I know of many people who have gotten the surgery with MEDICAID approval. NO is not an option for me or the drs. THIS has to happen and soon. If there is any one that happens to read this and they deal or have dealt with GA medicaid for this MATTER please contact me asap!!!! So that is the deal with me at this moment. STILL just spinning my wheels at the same place.
