Question?

Hi to everyone out there. I am still pre-op, and in the process of finishing my last few apt. prior to having my letter submitted to insurance. I still have yet to decide if the RNY or the DS is right for me. At my next apt. I plan on discussing it further with my surgeon. But, one thing that I would like to know is if the DS procedure is covered by medicaid? I had not even thought about this until now, I just assumed that they were both covered. But, now that I think of it, I have not from anyone who had the DS with medicaid. If anyone has, or know for sure could you please let me know? Thanks so much!
