I am currently with Amerigroup/Medicaid i was suppose to get sleeved July 2nd, but i found out a week before surgery that the Doctor does not accept my insurance, smh. They told me there was a mix-up in the paper work. Mind you, I've been going to him for month and discussed everything from thick to thin concerning the whole entire surgery process pre and post. Now i'm stuck looking for a Doctor who accepts my insurance in the NYC area. If you of any doctors that accept it please feel free to help me out.

Dont you have a network of doctors and hospitals available to you through Amerigroup? I'm with Empire BC/BS and I am able to look up doctors and hospitals through their website.

their website is not helpful to say the least. I've called them multiple times for assistance and i swear the workers on the other end must have been new employees because they didn't understand or know what i was talking about. They continued to pass me on to the next person like i was causing them trouble.

I see you have the same doctor as I. What happened in regards of the insurance. I had health plus, then they joined with amerigroup about a month ago. How long did it take them to approve your surgery from the date you handed it/faxed it to Jessie?

U might have to look up some octors in NYC and call them yourself. Don't wait and leave that in the hands of others.... Be proactive!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
