Does anyone know if Medicaid share of cost will cover Gastric Bypass Surgery?

I’ve tried many different diets, diet pills, exercising, stopped drinking soda, no junk food but still can’t lose all the weight.
I am healthy with no serious health problem just tired of being so huge. I have two young children that I can’t do much with cause I get worn out so quickly.

    I don’t know if Medicaid covers it, but I’m feeling pretty doubtful. I did have a friend who was partially insured who received it–she had to pay out of pocket.

    Also, the surgery is not the end-all be-all. With the surgery, you still have to continually diet or you can very well gain the weight back. Anytime a person goes under the knife, they risk injury, infection and death. So I figure, if you have to do the work of dieting along with the surgery, why risk being cut into?

    Here are the basics when it comes to weight loss: eat small amounts of low-fat, low glycemic (very little starch, flour and sugar) foods. Don’t consider the traditional ways of eating (3 squares per day). Eat small (the size of your fist) ‘snacks’ every 3-4 hours apart–this will keep your metabolism humming, which is what burns fat. You don’t even need to exercise that much if you follow that regimen. This is essentially what you’d have to do in terms of maintenance with the surgery anyway.

    No way, sis is right. By the way, they have a newer TECHNOLOGY. I read about it in a science magazine "Science Illistrated", they insert a lining in your stomach and its supposed to be safer and a pretty simple implant. Might want to check it out. Best of luck on the weight thing. Your probably young but I’ll tell you the same thing I told my wife: I don’t care about how much you weigh as long as your health.

    Acai provides dietary fiber, excellent for digestive tract health, high levels of calcium, vitamins A and E, and phosphorus. Acai has a significant amount of calcium, which help strengthen bones, prevent fractures, and can help prevent osteoporosis. Women who experience extreme menstrual pain can also benefit from Acai. Calcium-rich foods help coat the lining of the stomach and uterus, and help reduce the pain from cramps and bloating.

    Acai’s dietary fiber helps promote the health of the digestive tract, including the colon. The broad array of antioxidants in Acai may help protect and repair the lower esophagus damaged by acid-reflux disease. Acai’s acid-suppression effects reduce the acidity of stomach contents when reflux does occur. The antibacterial properties of Acai kill bad bacteria, fungi and parasites, including ulcer-causing bacteria. Acai’s anti-inflammatory abilities may prevent the malabsorption of vital nutrients by preventing damage to the wall of the small intestine.

    Acai’s phytosterols help reduce the erosion of the skin’s protective coating. Because it’s so high in anthocyanins and phytosterols, Acai helps protect connective tissues, including collagen. Acai acts as an astringent which contract, shrink or tighten body tissues, including skin. Astringents can be used to stop bleeding in small cuts or to give the skin a fresh, tingling feeling.

    Modern science is discovering the life-enhancing benefits of the Amazon super berry. Research indicates that Acai can help neutralize free radicals, prevent heart disease, thwart cancer, and much more.

    Acai contains powerful nutrients, which combine unique properties and ingredients in a single product. There’s no other fruit that can be compared with the effectiveness of Acai and no product on the market that can compete with the quality of Amazon Thunder.
