  1. Hi, Im new to this and I wanted to know does Medicaid managed care with Health Plus/Amerigroup cover for lap band surgery. I've had weight problems all my life and Im only 22years and my height is 5'1 and im weighting about 230 lbs. my doctors are always telling me I dont meed anything. Recently the weight loss Ive losed is because Im practically eating mostly anything no carbs no sugar barely any proteins and for me to even loose a pound its a struggle. Before my weight lost they foundhigh blood sugar normal range is 5.8 and mine was at 6.3, I losed some weight and sugar went down to normal which is good. Its so hard for me to loose a pound. I would like to know is there a way I can convince my doctor to send approval for me toget surgery I would really like to get it done. I have always had a self esteem issue and my weight actually depresses I wish I skinny or just nor Al but Im not Im huge and I know it was always picked on sonce I was young about my weight and they way I dressed because my could not afford to get me nice things. I know all this has to do with my weight because all I usually do is eat everything not healthy and I eat when Im down also. Im sorry guys to go all out about everything but I would like the help to glsee if I can get to convince my doctor the lap band surgery would be good for me and my self esteem at the same time. Thanks ?
