New here:) I have a few questions.

[mamabearrr 5]

I am ready to start my journey with wls if insurance will let me. I currently live in the U.P of Michigan & I am not sure is Medicaid covers any sort of Bariatric surgery. If anybody knows the answer to my question I would love to know! Thank you!

Hi, I have Medicaid in NYC and they are covering my surgery.

Since Medicaid is a state run program each state will be different.

Congratulations on your decision to choose yourself and your healthy future! When I started researching I got a notebook so I could write everything down in one place -- so much info! It's fun to look back at that now. Good luck with all!

Ill be calling medicaid in the morning thank you:) I do not know if I have any health problems due to my weight as far as I know all I have is a bad bad & I'm only 23. They say you qualify if your bmi is over 40 & mine is 61. I hope that they don't denie me if medicaid does cover it.

I believe Michigan does cover weight loss surgery.
