One point further. If you do qualify for Medicaid and you live in th eastern Idaho SouthEastern Idaho area. You can go to Salt Lake City and Wyoming and Medicaid would still cover such things if you meet their requirements (medicaid) First have your family doctor refer you to bariatric surgeon then pursue such a thing.

Dr Podany used to be located in Pocatello Idaho. He took a job in motpellier Idaho, I do not know if he is still accepting people but he use to take medicaid. Blackfoot Idaho and Idaho falls both have surgeons with RNY experience but they are currently doing Lap banding at each hospital. You may want to look into both of them. Medicaid is difficult to get in Idaho (I Did) due to the requirement of after care and such things.

Topic: anyone in Lewiston/Clarkston?

Hey all! Im wondering if there is anyone here that is from Lewiston/Clarkston. I think it would be good to start up a support group here. I know there are people in the valley that have had the surgery because my drs office says they have quite a few people from this area. So what do you guys think?
