Hey Ya'll, I'm Amy and I'm from New Hampton, NY (Near Middletown/ Goshen). I went to my fast track appointment/seminar just to find out that my insurance doesn't cover WLS. I currently have my medical insurance through my ex who lives in Seattle and his company won't cover it. So I'm at a stand still. I need a Hiatal Hernia repaired either way though because I'm so uncomfortable. If I drop his insurance would I be able to apply for Medicaid right away? (I'm pretty sure that he should have dropped me a long time ago (we ended in 2009 and now I have a child with my boyfriend/fience, but he wouldn't drop me without having proof that I had other insurance... but I can't get new insurance without him dropping me)... I'm so confused, and I'm sure you are too now

I had my surgery there in Nov. 07. They are great there. The whole bariatric program in Saranac Lake is wonderful. Is Dr. Hill doing your surgery? He is also wonderful.
Hi, my name is Deborah and I'm from Ulster County, New York. I recently met with a bariatric surgeon about WLS. My BMI is 36 and I don't have any co-morbidities that would qualify me for coverage through my MVP insurance, but my doctor is sending me for a sleep apnea test, which is my only hope and I'm having the test this coming Thursday evening. I'm 43 and a single parent of a severely autistic child. In addition to that I have multi level degenerative disc disease, prior back surgery and arthritis at multi levels throughout my back/neck, but none of that falls under the qualifications for approval through MVP. Does anyone have any experience in dealing with MVP and any advice on how to get an approval? I'd appreciate any advice anyone can offer.
I'm doing okay. Hoping I can lose about 20 more pounds.
