Anyone with medi-cal?

I was just wondering if anyone with medi-cal has been approved for the banded RNY?  I know they cover regular RNY, so I thought maybe they cover the other.  Any kind of advice or reponse would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

I had Medi-Cal and was approved for the Fobi pouch. of course medi-cal hardly pays, but Fobi will do his best to get you approved and do the surgery, anyway. He is in the Los Angeles, California area and no longer does the Fobi pouch for Medi-Cal patients, but more standard procedures as VGS, and his new surgeon has just done the first Lap-Band Fobi's center has ever done. If you want to know more send a message to my inbox and I can give you any info or referral numbers you may need. May take a couple of days to get back to you, but I will.

Please send me whatever info and referrrals that you can, I have medi cal and I am on social security disability (permanent) and I am=desparate. Thanks

I'm disabled and receive SSI and medi-cal as well. I live in southern california. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with getting approved for the lap-band surgery. Any bit of information will be appreciated.
