Hi, I have had two 6 month physician supervised diets within the last year and half. In each of them, I weight in like every 6 weeks or so. Do you HAVE to have 6 monthly weigh ins to get approved by medicaid (WV) or will that be enough with strong support letters from the physicians?

I'm really not here for an internet spat over something so trivial. I hope someone has the information I requested.

1. The person put multiple exclamation marks. They seemed to be shouting. 2. I put my state hoping that someone from my state has been through this and would know the details. Thanks.

I know that the 6 month periods are a must - but I want to know if 4 weigh ins over 6 months will be ok or if it had to be monthly. I would call the place and find out except it is 8:30 pm at night and it is closed. I feel kind of depressed because I heard tonight that possibly if u missed a month then u would have to start again. No need to shout at me like I am stupid. Thanks.

Hmm, I meant to say "that in most of the 'developing' world has there are different levels of health care..." << guess no go back and edit key - sorry - new here!

I think a lot of people assume that any care outside of the USA is going to automatically be subpar. What people don't realize is that in most of the 'developing' world has different levels of health care You can find very poor quality hospitals, but also private hospitals staffed with the best of the best. (Mexico isn't really considered 'developing' but between developing and developed - see note below). Rather than country the surgery is performed in, I would look at is where the physician was trained. I know many who do medical school in their countries, come to the USA or Europe for residency, fellowship, and experience, then return home to open exclusive private clinics. I would have no problem having a surgery done in Mexico, but I would want to know where the doctor did his residency etc. Even if the doctor didn't train in the US/Europe, a top university in Mexico would be just fine. *note: Newly industrialized countries or NICs, nations with economies more advanced and developed than those in the developing world, but not yet with the full signs of a developed country.[4][5][6][7] NIC is a category between developed and developing countries, and it includes South Africa, Mexico, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brazil, India, the Philippines, Thailand, and Turkey.

I have worried that I will hate the lifestyle post surgery. However, as a diabetic, I already have to monitor everything I eat - and diabetes is a progressive disease so life itself depends on doing things right. I like to travel abroad for months at a time in the developing world,and I can't do that when I am tied to getting medicine regularly. If I am going to have to monitor everything anyway - might as well do it while thin and (hopefully) with the diabetes in remission so I don't end up with terrible complications later on down the road. I want to preserve my eyesight so I can see the next amazing thing. . It took time to get used to the lifestyle of monitoring everything as a diabetic. There were times I just could not stand to have to live this way for the rest of my life. Then I got used to it, and it wasn't bad at all. I could even see the positives in truly learning about nutrition and sugar and eating healthy. Now everything is just normal. I suspect this is what will happen with you. Please do let us know.
