Medicaid?

I probably should have asked a long time ago, but my surgeon seemed fine with it. Okay so i've yet to submit for an approval through my insurance. I have Medicaid/Helth Plus. Now latley i've been hearing that it's very difficult to get an appoval through Medicaid what ever age you are, but i've heard it's way worse if you're younger. Anyone else have Medicad approve them in their teens? Also, i'm haivng Lap Band, so i know that might cause ANOTHER problem, i know insurance will be alright to approve RNY alot of times but deny lap band. Anyone been approved for lap Band with Medicaid? I know if i get denial we'll work something out. but i'm seriously stressing on this. Thanks bunches. Robin

nys medicaid is good about paying for wls and I really don't think you'll have a problem being approved don't worry babe just put the paperwork through
