New to the site and need some help!

Hey, everyone! I live in Columbus, Oh and just got approved for Medicaid through a managed care plan. I have been wanting to get the gastric bypass done for quite awhile. I need to choose a mcp. I'm leaning towards United healthcare community plan of Ohio. But there is also Molina. And Caresource. I need help choosing. Which would be better chances of getting approved. I have a bmi of 43. 

Also, what were your experiences with these mcp's? What are their requirements? a

I have hypothyroidism. However, it can be regulated with proper medication. Would that prevent me from getting approved? 

Anyone know of any surgeons in or near Columbus that accepts Medicaid?

Hi, Be sure to also post this on the Ohio board... you'll probably get a better chance of getting a reply since it's state specific mostly.

Top of the screen under FORUMS you'll find the states.

Best wishes with your quest for WLS... it was the best gift I ever gave myself I hope you will soon say the same.
