Staying Positive.

Aug 30, 2014

I am 28 years old and trying to have the sleeve surgery. I have Medicaid and so I know it is going to be a long road ahead. As of right now, I have an upper endoscope scheduled and several diet and exercise classes to finish. In late October we will be submitting for approval for the surgeon.  (which seems light years away from now)   

The insurance has not been helpful at all and I am currently doing the 6 month diet and we aren't even sure if they are going to require that. We went with what UHC normally requires (even tho medicaid is different). I am 5'2 and have a BMI over 40 and we are hoping that it will be enough to get the approval. I am not sure what I would do if I were denied. I want this so bad and am going to try like heck to do this. I want to live. I want to be healthy and happy.
