Medicare Anyone?



Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone else here has Medicare and any suggestions on how we can make sure they pay for it and not give us a hard time?

I have Medicare and had no trouble at all with them paying "their share". I can't really give you any suggestions on how to make sure they pay because I was VERY LUCKY and had a company called "T.W.I.G.S" (the weight is gone support) do ALL the work for me. I did nothing but the pre-op tests and have the surgery. I was one of the very very lucky ones. Maybe someone else can give you some help. Sorry :) I was no help.

Good luck!!!

I don't know where the surgery can be done but I just got a notice from Medicare that lapband surgery is cleared for

Patients above 35 BMI and one comorbidity....Yeah!:clap2:

There was a report about this on our news last night. It's nice that the government is doing this and the neat thing is that the insurance companies usually follow suit and allow for coverages that Medicare allows.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
