Got Medicare approval!!!

[gabbykittyvsg 184]

I have severe GERD and associated damage, no regain. Approval took 9 calendar days. Surgery is March 1st!

My surgeon is having me do her 10 day pre op diet so I have that to look forward to. LOL

Did they do any special tests to diagnose you with GERD? Or did they diagnose you only by your reported symptoms? I have gerd and I am wonder what i need to do to get approval for revision .
