Hello I've decided I want to get the bypass or sleeve. . . I'm in the south burbs of Chicago and have harmony which is medicaid. I talked to my primary he said it's a good idea. What should my next steps be?

Thank you! I'm okay with waiting as long as I have something to look forward to ????

My primary said they can only refer me to dr shayani who only does lapband cause he's the only one in network.. so they told me to call my insurance & get a list of surgeons. .. So I called my insurance & they said they have to have a letter of medical necessity from my pcp before they even give me names of people I can go to.... so I made an appointment with my pcp again. Hopefully he'll know exactly what to do because this is frustrating
