I am looking online & I see no information about bariatric surgery with medicaid. I am 23 & have a bmi of 56. I don't have any problems like high blood pressure that I know of. I see my family dr Tuesday to find out more. My dumby self never asked if medicaid covers it. I'm hoping to find out more information before I go to the doc.

I went to my family dr & he put me on a supervised diet for 6 months, I have to keep track of calories the whole time and I am also meeting with a dietitian tomorrow. He said I will have to for a psych evaluation with little tests & also go to a seminar. Getting closer!

I start my 6 month 2000 calorie a day diet tomorrow! I have to make a journal logging all my food intake & exercise 3 times a week. I'm excited for what's about to happen! I also have to go for a psych eval & also a seminar, I think I also have to meet with a dietician! I'm looking into the gastric bypass. Can anyone tell me more about it?

I called my insurance & It is covered through Medicaid. If I were to have straight medicaid, which I don't I would have to have health issues due to my weight. But I have uphp medicaid and it covers it yay! I'm so excited to start this journey. My grandmother has gasteic bypass 10 years ago and lost 200 pounds. She is my rock, my best friend & I couldn't be more happy to be having support from her!

I am ready to start my journey with wls if insurance will let me. I currently live in the U.P of Michigan & I am not sure is Medicaid covers any sort of Bariatric surgery. If anybody knows the answer to my question I would love to know! Thank you! -

Ill be calling medicaid in the morning thank you:) I do not know if I have any health problems due to my weight as far as I know all I have is a bad bad & I'm only 23. They say you qualify if your bmi is over 40 & mine is 61. I hope that they don't denie me if medicaid does cover it.
