Urgently needed: a bariatric surgeon in South Texas who accepts Texas Star Plus Medicaid

My PCP and I have been searching for more than a year for a bariatric surgeon in South Texas who accepts Medicaid. I am fast losing my ability to walk, due to the problems caused by obesity. I have nine ruptured discs caused by degenerative disc disease, therefore am unable to exercise, and now to walk! Please, if you are that surgeon, or if you know of any surgeons, please post here so that I may finally have the help so desperately needed. Thank You!

I am not sure if he takes it but check with Dr. Wade Barker. He is in the Dallas area and may know of a surgeon in your area that does the surgery. I know there are several people that have had to travel to his office from other states as well as far away cities in Texas. His number is 972-270-4800 www.drwbarker.com is his website. He has a 800 number but I don't have that one. Good Luck Barbara
