Has anyone gotten their Sleeve redone?

Do anyone that have medicaid had plastics done. Was it covered by medicaid?

Can someone recommend a good plastic surgeon in Mexico with airfare and hotel included in the price? Thank you!

Hello, was wondering did your insurance carrier pay for protein shakes? I heard of a site name insurenutrition.com and they accept insurance. Some say it's a scam and some say it not a scam.

Thank you for the info. I tried looking at your before and after pic, but it won't allow me to click on the link.

Oh ok. Thanks for the info anyways. ????

I'm from Chicago, Illinois. I'm kind of confuse. So your saying it cost over 10,000 and you paid 4,400? Did you get a discount or is that the price without airfare?

State of Illinois.

Thanks for the info Chiashley. I'm still up in the air about what hospital to have my surgery. Either UIC (University of Illinois medical center), Loyola or Northwestern. I heard nothing but great things about the doctors at all 3 hospitals.

Is their anybody that live in Illinois are familiar with County Care? If so, how long was the process for surgery?

Hi Felisity, I was just at the bariatric information seminar at Loyola last Saturday. How is the process going for you so far? Did you get a surgery date yet?

Your welcome and good luck too you. Do you live in Illinois? If so, what hospital are you having your surgery at?

Well I known a few people with Medicaid said they had to do the 6 month weight lost management program before being approved for surgery. I don't know what state your from but I live in Illinois and I'm with an insurance called County Care which is like medicaid but a little different. When talking with my insurance provider, I asked do I have to do the 6 month weight lost management program and they told me it was up too my Doctor. So I will see what happens. I have my first doctors appointment on June 20th.

Has anybody had the gastric sleeve surgery done in the Chicago land area? If so, can someone give me some recommendations? I'm going to a seminar at the University of Illinois medical center next week, but might wanna look into other hospitals for this procedure.

Oh ok, I talked with my insurance provider and asked them do I need to do the 6 months weight lost program and they told me it will be up to the doctor. So I'm gonna explain to Dr. Elli, that I'm having so many complications from the band so hopefully that will help. I'm gonna send you a friend request on Facebook under the name Lisa Smith.

No, I haven't met with the nut yet. I guess he will tell me what all I need to do at my first appointment with him. I currently have the lapband so in getting the revision sleeve. I'm just hoping I don't have to do the 6 months weight lost management program. Are you on Facebook? If so what is your name on there so I can send you a friend request?

When applying, do you give the name of your pcp doctor or the doctor that performed the surgery?

Thanks Mzdiva3, I have my first doctors appointment with Dr. Elli on June 6th.

A childhood friend of mines told me that some insurance (even medicaid) will pay for some plastics. Even Lipo. Is this true? Have anyone ever heard of this?

I was wondering the people who was revised from the lapband to gastric sleeve did you still have to do the 6 month weight lost management to be approved? I'm having sooooo many complications with my lapband and I'm hoping I don't have to wait 6 months. I need this band out asap.

Wheew!! I hope that happens in my case. Thanks for the feedback.

What type of insurance do you have if you don't mind me asking? I hoping to get revise from the lapband to sleeve. I hope my insurance doesn't give me a hard time or denies me.

What type of insurance do you have.? I'm hoping to get the revise from band to sleeve and hoping my insurance won't give me a hard time or denies me because I really need this band out of me. Having so many complications.

Did you ask your doctor why you wasn't losing weight after revising to the sleeve?
