 Getting the sleeve in July, I go to school in Gainesville and I want to start attending a group...also I will be getting the surgery at home in naples and will be there for around 6 weeks so knowing of a group there would be good too, I want to be with family when I have it done, but I need a good one in gainesville since this is where I am majority of the time. thanks!

Topic: RE: PLASTIC SURGEONS - VS - INSURANCE
 I am not positive, but I think it has to be medically necessary in order for medicare / medicaid to pay. But I think most will accept it with proper referals. 

I have been really lucky with the loose skin so far. I am hoping getting in the pool this summer will help tone that little extra I have up. 

Hope you are doing well Elizabeth.

Can anyone tell me the names of Plastic surgeons that accept Medicare/medicaid?  I live in Florida - but am willing to travel when the time comes.  
Thank you

Does anyone know of a surgeon that takes Medicaid/Medipass to have a tummy tuck? Dr. Hoddinott told me that Medipass would pay for it. I was just curious to who it may be??

Hey! I am happy to hear you are having the surgery! I had my RNY on November 10th 2011 and I reached a 100 lbs lost this week! Dr. H is awesome! He is a very fast paced doctor but he addresses everything you need him too. He is great. It took me about 2 weeks to fully be able to get around with out being exhausted but the pain subsided tremendously after about 4 or 5 days. Just remember to follow the diet and drink lots of water! Make sure to take all your blood thinning shots so you do not get blood clots and make yourself move around. The more you do that the faster you recover! I am only 7 months out and I have only had one minor issue which was where the scare tissue around my stomach opening healed to tight but Dr, H went in through an Upper GI, stretched it and 10 minutes later I was all better. But that was only becasue my body creates large amounts of scar tissue. Hope this helps and feel free to add me to your friends! I live in Grand Island behind the Lake Square Mall!! Good Luck!!
