I Am Seeking Gastric Bypass Because Of Medical Problems



Recommended Posts

I am a female I am new here because I am Seeking Gastric Bypass surgery to help me

1. Because my Stomach is in my Chest and hurts and because my stomach needs to get fixed because it is in my chest

2. Because I have Very Bad GERD or heartburn where I

1. Vomit

2. Have Nausea feelings

3. Have Uncontrollable Belching

4. Have Cramps

3. I have Gastro Intestinal Bleeding

4. I have High blood pressure

5. I am Morbidly Obese and have been morbidly obese all of my adult life

I have completed 6 months of Medical doctor visits, a psychological evaluation and a Fitness evaluation. I also had an Endoscopy done by my Gastro Doctor and my Gastro Doctor said that my Stomach that is in my chest needs to be fixed plus I have Acute Gastro intestinal bleeding. My Gastro Doctor has sent the results of my Endoscopy to the Gastric Bypass surgeon. There is one problem I am on Medicare and Medicaid I do not know if the government will be able to let me move forward to getting the gastric bypass surgery. I think all that is happening now is that I am waiting to find out if Medicare and Medicaid will let me move forward to getting the Gastric Bypass Done. Is there anyone on Medicare and Medicaid like me that has had Gastric Bypass What can I expect out of Medicare and Medicaid to be able to go forward with Gastric Bypass Surgery? I am looking for some friends that have had Gastric Bypass to help me know what to experience and answer any questions I have. I love having email pen pals if that can answer short letters with questions like for example:

1. Do you have any pets?

2. Do you like Music?

3. What Type of music do you like?

If you know the answers please message me.

Hello there!! It all depends on weather your doctor or institution where you will be having the surgery accepts Medicare and or Medicaid. I know for a fact that Medicaid covers it, because my sister had the surgery done and she has Medicaid. Also it is approved faster than regular insurance. I have Aetna and it took me forever to get approved for the surgery and I had to provide a whole bunch of information, but my sister's process was super fast and like I said, she got her approval right away! There may be a possibility of finding some bumps along the way, but don't you get discouraged, the hospitals have professional people that know how to deal with these types of procedures and they know how to get you approved!! I wish you the best of luck on your surgery!!

      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.
