Marcant4522 4 Posted March 13, 2013 I wonder how long it will take in Texas I have Medicare and QMB Medicaid as my secondary ins. My height is 5'8 503 pds.. (started at 525) my bmi is 79.4. I have lymphodema in my legs, sleep apnea ,cellulitis in my legs. with extreme back and knee pain. I have passed all of my test and on the very last one I tested positive for h pylori. I have been on antibiotics now for a week, so tomorrow is my final check up and I am scared that the h pylori thing will keep me from getting approved.
