I've been trying to have bypass surgery for 3yrs since I had my gallbladder removed. I don't have health insurance. I do have medicaid but they don't pay. I need some advice on how to finance the surgery???

Medicaid Pays. Just a thought. They require a six month doctor supervised diet. and most surgeons that take medicaid are in Paducah and Louisville. St. Jos East in Lexington is awesome!!! But they don't take medicaid they take medicare and the hospital takes medicaid with no pre approval. Hope this helps. 287/226/150 Shell

Many on the boards have medicaid and had the surgery. I believe Dr. Shina in Louisville accepts medicaid. Check around and DON"T give up!! Blessings Tonya
