lapband and sc straight medicaid

Hi new to the boards here..my regular physician has referred me to riverside surgical at lexington medical for bariatric surgery(lapband) I go to my seminar there on monday but ive been hearin that they wont take medicaid...is there any hope of having this surgery done with medicaid because there is no way i can pay for it out of pocket or finance and i would prefer not to have a gastric bypass which i heard was easier to get approved...any help would be wonderful ..thanks to all
