Is it always a long wait

[ThinnerMe2015 14]

I live in Michigan does, anyone else on here live in Michigan? And does anyone else on her from Michigan, and also have Medicare & Medicaid for Insurance? If so Is or did the process go slow with those insurance people? I just got through doing my year long meetings with the dietitians and now I am waiting on referral cordinator to get me referral to see a psychiatrist. Om Wednesday I am going to a seminar, so hopefully the process speed up and I hope to get approved, the time of waiting is torture. Can anyone tell me if they are having the same issues of waiting with Medicare and Medicaid.

Hi: I live in California, but I have medicare/medicaid. Medicare is the probably the easiest insurance to get. What they will coverage varies from state to state, believe Michigan, after a quick Googal, covers the RNYGB and the Band. While I wanted the SleveGastrectomy because it would be easier, I had the RNYGB last week. So far, I am doing well. It took me a year from the first intro talk to the actual surgery. It is a long hard process, at least it was for me. But just keep going. Do what they tell you, and you will make it to the surgery. Good Luck.
