Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Hello all. My name is Connie, and I'm from Granite City, Illinois. I have been EVERYWHERE, including obesityhelp.com, I just can't seem to find a surgeon in or around St. Louis (10 min. from me).The problem is that I'm on Medicaid, and no one seems to want to help. I'll be getting Medicare in October, and New Start said it would be about 4-5 months AFTER that to get the surgery!! By then I'll be 500 lbs! My meds cause me to gain, so I'll be very unhealthy by then. So it's up to Medicaid, but like I said....nothing. Any help out there?? Thanks!
