Here is a link to one place that I found that has Medicaid listed under approved insurances:

Hope this helps.
Edited to add:
There is a Dr. Jawad in Ocala, FL that has Medicaid listed. They also have Medicaid seminars.
Here is a link to that site: http://www.jawadmd.com/contact_seminar.php

You are so right, time is just flying by. Just a short time ago, I was here posting my concerns about being approved for my RNY and look at me know 7 weeks out and down 50 lbs.
I can't wait to "ingrow" some of my clothes. I notice that they are not as tight and maybe a little more roomy, but they are still wearable, so basiclly I haven't seen much of a change but I am looking forward to it. I too am cheap when it comes to buying clothes. I am going to take the suggestion that someone posted about shopping at thrift stores and Goodwill, at leat for a little while.
I am loving this weather and I agree that is could stay this way for ever for all I care.
Congrats on your success and keep up the good work, you will be at goal soon.

Topic: VSG and Medicaid--for my sister
Hello All!
I am actually trying to do some research for my sister, who is in desperate need of WLS.
I actually had the DS (which was perfect for me and I'm so happy) with Dr. Gagner while he was in Miami back in Oct 2008.
My sister had to cancel her BCBSFL unfortunately and I am trying to see if any medicaid doctors a) do the VSG
b) will accept medicaid
I don't know anything about medicaid, but if someone can point me in the right direction, I would be happy to try and research on my own!
I am s thankful that OH exists...I know without it, I wouldn't have been able to make the best choice for me and what I needed to accomplish, mainly curing my diabetes (coming up on 2 years normal)
Thanks so much for any and all help!

Hi Julie,
Yes, the support group is in the same room as Dr. Jawad's seminars are held. Please try to join us this month, I would love to meet you in person.
Dr. Jawads Bariatric Coordinator Kelli Potenza and Nutritionist Jennifer conduct these meetings. We just started a monthly news letter called "News 2 Lose" and we are always looking for submissions. So, if you have a story to share, a recipe, or even a joke, Kelli would love to hear from you.
Hope to see you on the 21st.

Try Dr. Thomas Bass out of Hollywood, FL---I know he takes medicare. He's a wonderful surgeon, so at least give him a ring and find out.
