[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 159122, member: 1514"] Well I got a phone call back from another surgeon. Seems that maybe all is not lost. Maybe....just maybe...things can be approved if I can jump through enough hoops. Problem is that I have to prove to medicare/medicaid that I have been under a doctor's supervised diet and exercise program for six months. Ummmm....I have tried every diet out there and I cant do one more. I also explained to this woman that I am under a doctors restrictions as far as walking/standing go. She suggested that I walk or go to a gym for exercise...lmao...ok...yeah right. Im on disability people! I can only stand for 20 mins a day per doctors orders. I consider it a major feat if I can make it through the grocery store. Is getting groceries considered exercise? Does washing dishes in one load count? How about folding clothes? She wasnt amused. I mean do normal people get these operations? I would think only sick people...disabled people...get things like this done. I waited this long because if I could have done it any other way I would have done it! She made it seem like I would have to prove that I really didnt get this way on purpose. It was this odd condescending tone. [/QUOTE]
