I live in New York and I have Medicaid I wanna know do this surgery but I wanna know if my insurance pay for it.

Each insurance company has different guidelines and medicaid has their own. You should contact them to ask. My guess would be BMI of 40+ or some health issues like high blood pressure, sleep apnea, arthritis, etc. It never hurts to call and ask.

You can eat smaller portions, most doctors say no soda or carbonation, and alcohol is empty calories so not much.

You should go to a seminar near you. They'll tell you all this.

Do you live in NYC? If yes, you can call NYU Bariatric Group and they will tell you the next time they are holding a seminar. You will get alot of your questions answered there..
