Question:
Does anyone know of a physician

in the Fort Worth or Dallas area that will perform open RNY on a patient with Disability and/or Medicaid insurance. A friend of mine was denied by her insurance through the government, now has been declared disabled by her doctor and is hoping to get on disability and medicaid. She is in serious need for this surgery with debilitating illnesses that could be helped if she lost LOTS of weight. I had my surgery a year ago and am trying my darnedness to help her get going with this. Any input would be greatly appreciated.    — MedTrans (posted on December 15, 2003)
