does medicaid pay for lap band (not medicare but medicaid)
sassie21898 posted a topic in Insurance & Financing
i am getting a lit confused. i keep hearing about medicare paying for surgery. i am 24 5'5 and wiegh 245lbs. i have back problems and knee problems. my bmi is 42 so under a group insurance i would quilify but i dont have a job that offers any insurance. i am a low income person and would love to her from someone that has had this type of situation!! -
o.k. just curious i know your significant other wants to see you happy, but has there attitude towards you changed? now that you are smaller and can wear revealing clothes (not skanky just a little more skin) some may change the way they feel. i know when i was smaller my boyfriend was way more protective of me and what i wore and where i went clubs were out of the question. once i gained weight he seemed to be a little more at ease because i was bigger and i guess he felt more comfortable about me not leaving him or another guy squezzing him out the picture. anyways he's out of my fat life anyways and i just wanted to know if anyone elses relationship has changed because of the weight loss?

has anyone from georgia used medicaid to get the surgery? which one is best peachstate or wellcare insurance? how long did it take? what were the requirements? and where did you get it done? any advice about medicaid users is fine but i am really interested in georgia medicaid advice because it may differ state to state
