Do I qualify for bariatric surgury? For Medicaid or self pay?

I am 29 years old, 5'7 225 BMI 35 with comorbidities of high bp, high cholesterol, urinary incontinance, and degenerative disc disease L5/S1. I also suffer from Addison's Disease (adrenal insufficiency,) Wilson's Syndrome (t3 deficiency,) Premature Ovarian Failure (low estrogen & testosterone,) these illnesses have caused light cornary prob's at times and with a high body weight I am much more prone to diabetes and other diseases because of my endocrine problems. Do I qualify for bariatric surgury and for medicaid coverage of surgury. I have been on a special diet for a year with a nutritionalist but have lost no weight then just found out about all of the endocrine diseases last month. Any information is greatly appreciated. Thank you sooo much. Jennifer

seems to me you need a bmi of 35 and health issues from the extra weight.......and i think you got it...worth a try at it anyway...

I would go to the Seminar and see.. Only a Dr could tell you truthfully...We would think so with all your problems you seem to have but then we haven't even looked at you... Best of luck with whatever you decide... Linda
