I'm working on transitioning to vegetarianism first, but the end goal is full veganism. I don't want to consume anything that comes from an animal. Have you found any good vitamins/ supplements that are at least vegetarian? Anything you can recommend would be greatly appreciated!

I wanted to give an update! I cut hours at work ad submitted pay stubs to be covered by 10/1 and they made an error on their end in our family size, so i had to resubmit some information to be re-processed. So after two VERY VERY long months, I was finally approved for medicaid coverage starting on 11/1! Durring these two months i paid out of pocket for my weigh-ins ($90 a pop). All I have left to do is see my nutritionist one more time and have my endoscopy done & we'll be ready to submit paperwork! It's been frustrating but worth it!

So, I recently went to see Dr. Vadim Gritsus about getting the sleeve done. I currently have Horizon NJ Health through NJ Family Care (medicaid) but I'm being cut off at the end of the month because my income is now over the limit. NJ Family Care suggested purchasing insurance through the Marketplace. That being said, I'm wondering if anyone knows of an insurance plan offered through the marketplace that has a 3 month or less requirement process for bariatric surgery. I've considered quitting my job in order to keep the medicaid but its just too drastic and I'd rather do the right thing and purchase insurance (the insurance through my job doesn't cover bariatric surgery).My BMI is 41 and I've already been told I qualify.

Yes! I've already started the process for getting a status review from NJ Family Care. Now I just have to get the letter from my supervisor to speed up the process. Luckily, I spoke to the receptionist at my Dr's office and she said even if I had a (short) lapse in coverage that they would do everything possible to keep my process going as far as weigh-ins etc.

wowww, not including doctors/specialist visits I assume.

I am actually considering this. I'm just not sure what they'll ask me for... a paystub? and if so, I won't have on that displays a reduction in hours until next Friday Aug 23rd. I guess I'll call and ask what would be required if I"m expecting my hours to be cut.

I will check! Thanks!
