I am so frustrated I am in tears. I have been denied by medicaid for my procedure for not having an "uncontrolled, life threatening event". I am a Brest Cancer survivor and have issues with lymphodema and back pain from my surgeries. I have a hiatal hernia they were going to repair at the same time. It is documented that weight can increase the chance of cancer recurrence. How much more life threatening does it have to be? I have done all the prep and preliminary doctor visits and even had my surgery scheduled. Does anyone have any input or suggestions?
