that is actually my last resort because that would mean i would have to keep going out there for fills, treatment, and if any complications should arise

You may even have to go up to westchester or go out to the island as well....

Start asking doctor's (bariatric surgeon's offices) if THEY know of anyone. 

Do not give up.  I spent well over a year to find a surgeon who'd operate on me (and I had insurance they all took) - it was due to some health issues.

Just plod along, ask, keep asking, keep calling.  If the doctor has a list, get on it - keep calling to see where you are - heck, they might just bump you up the list just to keep you from calling every couple days.

Be persistant....be inquisitive...and use this time to build your knowledge as well!

Look at the post (second from the top)  This is a common question and they are MANY replies.  You can also search surgeons on here and make some phone calls - inquire via phone, can even follow up and see if they know of any bariatric practices that do accept.

Topic: Medicaid/ Amerigroup surgeons??? HELP
I'm currently residing in brooklyn and im searching for a Surgeon that accept medicaid/ amerigroup. Amerigroup told that they will cover all the expenses for my surgery if it were medically necessary. My PCP informed them that it was. Now i need to find a surgeon that actually accepts my insurance. Seems like i've been searching for months to no avail and im growing quiet depressed at the results. If any one has info that could help me please contact me. Thanks!
