Question:
Medicare/Medicaid in Florida

Has anyone been approved for this surgery in Florida using Medicaid/Medicare...and if so, what surgeon did you use? I am 4 1/2 months out from my surgery and have lost 100 lbs. The BEST thing I ever did. My friend really wants to get this done, but my doctor, Dr. Fernandez in Tampa, does not take medicaid...Any suggestions?    — Tracee B. (posted on November 1, 2005)

HI, Im in Pensacola, Florida and the ONLY surgeon I could find that takes medicaid is Dr Samuel Cox in Ft. Lauderdale. I am currently going through the pre-op testing for my surgery with him. He's 650 miles from me, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. His # is (954) 928-0066 Email me if you have any other questions about him. Good luck. Love and Peace, Mary Brake
