@@Bebee did you ever find a dr in La that accepts medicaid? Im wondering did you do your surgery and who did you use? I know its been a couple of years since this post, but Im new and just ran across it. Dr.Dominguez in Covington is the only Dr so far thats accepting it now. Was hoping to find more Drs.

@@Fonteli37 we're in the same boat. I'm new and also looking for surgeons near Lafayette or Lake Charles.

Are you looking for someone who accepts your insurance, or just a good surgeon in that area?

I'm looking for someone who accept medicaid.

The only Dr in Louisiana that accepts medicaid for gastric sleeve is Dr. Dominguez in Covington Louisiana. I have checked into it. I live in Lake Charles and would have to drive to Covington if I want to use him.

I will definitely look up his info and give him a call. Do you know if you need the 6 months documented weight loss attempts?

They sent me a package and in the package it says that they do 6mos nutrition and weightloss assessment with medicaid patients bc its a requirement for medicaid to pay. So yes, you will have to have that before surgery. You can do that in your area they said. You dont have to travel to them. Call and ask for Cheryl and she will send you a packet.

Thank you so much! I have 5 months so far so almost there! Are you thinking about going to Covington?

I hate to break the bad news, but I'm thinking in order to pay for it, you'd have to do 6 mos under Dr.Dominguez's patient. But hey, it'll come in no time. We are ALMOST already at Christmas 2015, look how the year has flown by!!
