Would any of you happen to know if medicaid will cover this surgery? Thanks.

I believe Medicaid does cover DS. The only thing they don't cover is the band. In general you have to have a BMI of close to or above 50 and typically 2 comorbids (i.e. sleep apnea, diabetes, hypertension, arthritis) before they will approve you for any WLS.
