i already contacted them They do not accept Medicaid

I'll take that $100.

I just found this: http://www.longviewregional.com/Services/Pages/Bariatric%20( Weight%20Loss)%20Program.aspx via a quick Google search. It's Longview Regional Medical in (wait for it...) Longview, Texas!

Here's a link to their Bariatric Program page: http://www.longviewregional.com/Services/Pages/Bariatric%20( Weight%20Loss)%20Program.aspx - Jason P. Suits is the doctor's name.

Actually, here's a link to the Google page so you can go through it yourself - http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=bariatric+sur gery%2Blongview%2C+tx&aq=f&aql=&aqi=&oq=

Now, based on the fact that you couldn't Google this information yourself, I'm going to assume you haven't researched any of the surgeries, either. Right?

They dont accept Medicaid im on Medicaid

Where there is a will there is a way.  You have to want this enough to make a lot of phone calls and inquiries.  Someone on here told you about some surgeons that do accept Medicaid.  Give them a call.  No one but you can do the leg work, nor should they have too.  You either want this or you don't.  It's really pretty cut and dried.  Is living a long life more important to you then dying young from the ravages of obesity?  Every surgery carries a risk.  I thought the risk far outweighed the quality of life I had.  I hope you get your priorities straight.

I'll call them tomorrow to verify that.

I'll look forward to hearing the results of that phone call.

Yes, they do.

I just talked to three different people at that hospital. They all said "Yes..." like they thought I was an idiot.

Can you please tell me which hospital you called and they told you they accept Medicaid

because I called East Texas medical center and mother francis in Tyler they said they dont take Medicaid

I also called Longview Regional and she said she didnt know if they do or not so if you can please tell me who you called and said they do please can i have the number please

Read back a few comments. I linked you to the specific hospital.

I called Longview Regional. I spoke to the secretary in the bariatric surgery center, one of the insurance coordinators/billing specialists and the switchboard operator.

The number is: 903-758-1818. You'll have to call them tomorrow during normal business hours.

If you don't know what their normal business hours are...


GO BACK AND READ MY COMMENT AND CHECK OUT THE LINK I POSTED.
