Hello,

May I ask who did your weight loss surgery? Did they accept Medicaid insurance for the procedure? I am interested in having the surgery done. Thank you.

I live in Covington and have been desperately looking for a Medicaid doctor. Was wondering did you locate one and how are you doing?

Hi PrettyVee can you tell me the name of your doctor that done your surgery in Covington and do they accept the medical card.

I put the info to my surgeon on the thread but here it is again.

??504 259 7519?

His nurse Monifah has the office calls forwarded to her phone. More than likely she won't answer because they stay busy but leave a VM and she will call you back.
