New here..and questions. :)
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to ask some questions. I am on Medicaid and I know that they cover WLS like GBS and the like, but would plastic surgery as in a tummy tuck or liposuction be considered WLS in the fact that it is in regards to your obesity. I ask because with GBS type surgeries you know that they are permanent and a life change, where plastic surgery seems more "vanity".
Is anyone else on Medicaid and have gotten surgery?
