I have called and they say they dont, but once you say something about you being aware that they do then they dont deny it and tell you how to go about applying for the surgery. Has anybody else been thru this???

Medicaid in most states will not cover anything that is not considered a medical necessity. Being that weight can be lost via other methods it is generally not considered a necessity.
I am not sure about the state you are in, but in alot of states you would go about applying by being referred to a Dr. that performs the surgery (and that takes Medicaid) by your family Dr. Then the surgeon will fill out all applicable paperwork and get a form back letting them know if it will be covered or not from Medicaid.
If in your state you don't need a referral just start calling around to different Drs that perform the surgery and finding out if any accept Medicaid. Usually the problem is finding a Dr. to take the insurance in the first place.
Good Luck!!

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.
I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.
It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.

Gastric Bypass and Lap Band Surgery(all types of bariatric surgery) is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges obesity surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for international patients as obesity surgery is not covered by insurance or by the stinking NHS.
They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your lobesity surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star .
My cousin got her gastric bypass done there and she is more than very happy with the results.She is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company.She paid just 30% of the cost what she was quoted in USA and it was like a wonderful vacation for her. she has alsready lost 55lbs in 5 months .hope this helps

pick up a 5 or 10 pound weight at the gym and visualize that weight coming off holding the weight in your hands helps bring home just how heavy even 5 pounds of extra fat can be
