I cannot tell you from experience about St. Francis or IU-Clarion, I can tell you that I would never go anywhere other than St. Vincent's. I had the Roux en y done there November 8th 2010 by Dr. Cacucci, friends of mine have had the roux en y's done there also by Drs. Inman,  and Huse and everything is going well. I love Dr. Cacucci. The staff and doctor's at St. Vincent are amazing, I have NEVER been treated as well as I was there, and I have had two c sections, ligation, hysterectomy and tonsillectomy. I just don't see how you can go wrong with St. Vincent's. I hope this post helps.

 they do cover it, hoosier healthwise was what I was on. You have to go through 6 months of supervised weight loss program, etc. Also you have to actually fit the requirements to have the surgery. I would find a Bariatric center of your choice & ask them if they take your insurance. 

How can I get Indiana Medicaid to pay for me to have this surgery? I am a little over 100lbs overweight. I don't have diabetes, heart trouble, high blood pressure or any of the medical problems that some obese people endure. I am just a overweight depressed woman with the only current medical problem being a herniated disc in my lumbar. Is it at all possible for medicaid to help me???

 Congrats on your surgery date!  I had a revision of my rny last year.  They redid the short y portion of my rny.  I was back to nornal within a week and was at a charity walk two weeks later!  Wishing you the best of luck on your continued weight loss journey!
