anyone in lawton, ok had wls surgery?

Is there anyone on this sight that has had wls surgery and is from fort sill or lawton? Is there anyone that has been lucky enough to have medicaid pay for it or soonercare choice? If so please let me know because that is what I am dealing with now. Any information would be helpful as to how to get this approved. I have read their handbook (soonercare choice) and it stated that if the primary care physician finds it medically necessary and you have one or more medically recognized conditions as a result of morbid obesity, then your pcp can recommend surgery as the last hope. Anyone else know of anythin like this? thanks, shirley

I am not from Lawton any more...grew up there and that is were all my family lives now. I am in Chickasha just up north from you...you sound like you are military? right? well to get the surgery paid for you have to have a medical problem. and bmi has to be over 40. and that with the surgery that it would improve you over all health. I have insurance and they are paying for it all. I have arthris in my knees and hips and back..and they want the weight gone..and sooo do I...I had VB on the 19 of april...and I am proud to say I am a lossssserrrrr...I am down. I weight in at my doc office the first time at 294 as of today I am 265 THANK GOD. If you want to talk email me. or email me you phone number and I will call you...you can do this. just get the doctors behind you and the insurance will pay. Best of luck...Lavena aka Sissie
