I so sorry to hear about your predicament but I would say YES that medicais is pretty much government run and here in KY Medicaid pays. They will probably want a 6 month supervised diet and a doctors letter for medical necessity but otherwise you should be good to go. Best Wishes

I got your email that You heard that Texas simply wil not cover it but that is just not true. Go To http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/list-insurers.php?State=TX&alphaPos=M There are a list of people there that it did cover so why can't they cover You? Will email You with more info. Smile there is a chance.
