Each insurance company has different guidelines and medicaid has their own. You should contact them to ask. My guess would be BMI of 40+ or some health issues like high blood pressure, sleep apnea, arthritis, etc. It never hurts to call and ask.

Thanx my bmi is 42.7 and I wanna get this surgery but how long it takes to recover

MA paid for mine without any waiting. I got approved instantly. Good luck.

What was ur bmi

44 bmi plus I had to take meds for blood pressure, 6 pills a day to eat because of other problems that got fixed with the band. I am now med free other than Vitamins and minerals.

After the surgery u can eat like regular food and can u drink soda or alcohol

You can eat smaller portions, most doctors say no soda or carbonation, and alcohol is empty calories so not much.

You should go to a seminar near you. They'll tell you all this.

Do you live in NYC? If yes, you can call NYU Bariatric Group and they will tell you the next time they are holding a seminar. You will get alot of your questions answered there..
