I'm on medicare as well - I was so huge at 438 pounds though that I was approved right away - it does help that my surgeon's office is meticulous about having all the paperwork in order. Anyway - yes - keep on keeping on and approval will be the result hopefully!
@ Vanessa - Is your blog one related to WLS? I'd love to see it if yes - it's invite only though - can you PM me an invite? Yeah yeah yeah - I'm just a bit nosey - but I'm a webgeek as well so...
