Hello everyone...
I've been lurking on here for awhile but this is my first post. I'm 26 and from Chicago and have finally decided to take the steps to have bariatric surgery. Attended a seminar a Loyola University Medical Center that was very informative. I'm nervous but excited for what's to come in the future!
I was wondering if anyone on here has experience with County Care Medicaid from Illinois? I've called them several times and other than knowing that they do cover surgery, I keep getting conflicting responses about qualifications or where I can go to have the surgery. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@@claudi2103, my surgeon is James Wallace in Milwaukee, WI. He's the founder of the bariatric center of excellence at this hospital and has been at it for 21 years. I haven't seen any other programs that have the same approach, but I know a number of people who've been through their program and give him rave reviews. In my experience, Wallace is a bit of an odd duck (surgeons are a special breed...), but everyone else on the team has been amazing.
