What is your BMI? It sounds like weight loss will help so there is less pressure on your body. If you look on the home page here, there is an area to find a surgeon.

Post your location in the title of a new post and you will get some good feedback from other's in your area. Do a search for others who used medicaid. I think you will get it done without too much problem. Medicaid will also have a list of surgeons in your area.

I wish you good luck with your journey.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
