DS AND Gastic Sleeve
I have given you the names of the hospitals I've called so many times. Check your "Latest Posts", go back, and find the list of numbers and websites all by yourself. If you're smart enough to find the New Topic and Reply buttons on this site, you're smart enough to find your old posts.

There are hospitals very close to you that will accept your Medicaid. Like I said, check your old posts and find the ones I linked you to. I'm done doing the work for you. It's a waste of my time because you just don't get it.
Or you could always self-pay and walk to Mexico.

But Jackie, he didn't call you a liar. He called you a lair. I just don't know if it is Spiderman's lair or Batman's lair.

The duodental switch (DS) is a two component surgery ~ the vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG)and the intestinal bypass.
The VSG is the restrictive portion and the intestinal bypass is the malabsorptive portion.
And I seriously doubt Jackie is lying.

so I can research
and to the lady that said she called hospitals in my area she is a lair caused none take Medicaid in Longview for bariatric surgery whoever told you is a liar becasue Medicaid only pays for it if the hospital is a center of excellence
Tyler Texas pays for it now they didnt in the past
but i submitted my paper work a month ago and havent heard anything im going with a dr in Arlington
Before you research you might want to stop and think for a minute. Is it rational or in your best interest to slam dunk someone who is trying to help you? She might be asking the right questions when you are asking the wrong questions.
Calling one of the most favorite veterins around here a liar when she is taking her time to try her best to help you... well, it's kinda stupid when you look at it logically.
You are lucky it's not me trying to help you. You wouldn't have any luck. You would however, be damn well on your own.
I don't care what kinds of issues you have, simple manners go a long way and I do believe it is time you learn a bit of social grace. Now behave yourself before the entire board stops responding to you and answering your questions.
