I am sorry to say this but if you are asking the government to pay for obesity surgery your crazy. I would be damnded if I would be for obesity surgery for someone on government assistance. You need to have a job that has insurance so you can pay for it., Not everyone in the state of GA. Thats not fair.

joan. that is the rudest comment ever. I am medicaid, 33, and had 2 heart attacks,stent placement, and family history of heart disease. My doctor has said at this point LapBand is the only thing left, because with my heart i can not take appetite suppressants. I cant do much movement not because of weight, but because of stress on heart. I have worked hard all my life, have a child, and paid my taxes every year I worked, and was a single mom. It is finally my time, and I am in need of help. So you should get a life. People like me and others, we are deserving, and yes the government does pay for it. Depends on which plan you are on as to their policy. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!
