I having the most difficult time finding a surgeon to perform my gastric bypass revision. They all want additional money. How can you qualify for medicaid and have an extra six thousand dollars laying around.  I am willing to fly anywhere.

Medicaid or Medicare?...if it's Medicaid you will most likely have to find a surgeon in your state as it's a state based program. This might help locate a surgeon in general and you can call to find out what they will accept... Here is the website of the American Society of Bariatric Surgeons....you can search their membership and find a surgeon in your area who is willing to follow other surgeon's patients. Just look under code FOLL for follow. http://www.asbs.org/html/about/membersearch2.html
