I'm still in the process of getting all my paper work and insurance requirements in but I'm a little nervous about my insurance. I have Medicaid share of cost. Does anyone else have it and got approved. What was the time limit? Help!!?

i have Medicaid from my state---not sure what share of cost is tho. i do have to pay a monthly premium for my workers with disability medicaid. my surgeon told me once a person follows all rules & makes all appts insurance wont deny it. it took a week for my approval. not sure if this helps.

Thanks for your response @phillyaj. That does help. "Share of cost" is like a Medicaid with a deductible. They start covering you 100% after you pay a certain amount. I've read some other forums that stated they didn't have a problem with Medicare as well so I'm a little more confident

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
