Yes, medicaid does cover it as long as you qualify for WLS: BMI of 35 with 2 co-morbidities OR BMI of 40 minimum.

Topic: RE: Support groups on Long Island for VSG surgery

Hi I just had my vsg surgery on July 10, 2017 at mount sinai in manhattan, didn't have any problems but u will be sore at incision site for maybe a week, the first week is the toughest managing schedule of food and trying to drink enough liquids. You will have to sip water from a one ounce medicine cup, example cough syrup cup that comes with bottle, you will not be hungry at all just start slow and listen to all directions, operation will take away your cravings to eat, first day u will be thinking why did I do this but after first week taking vitamins and eating you will have to much energy and after my two week follow up visit lost 26 pounds, u will feel full after about 3 bites of food, don't worry if not eating at first, just drink as much low calorie gatorade as u can, and soon as u can start walking. It prevents complications. Hope u all the best on your new journey.

I'm in Medford.  Finally just had my surgery.  Once I am cleared to go to the gym, I would like to go.  It's been a rough year and a half for me.

On the chance that you still check in here and are still unsure of support groups,, just call any of the hospitals bariatric offices for their group schedules. They all welcome people regardless of where they've had surgery.  There are therapists and you can get a few recommendations from people who attend or when you call.  As far as I know, most of the practices have a guest therapist address/anwer questions at support groups from time to time.
