NO, Gastric Bypass is considered an elective procedure, Medicaid is government subsidize and they will not pay for that.

YES! MEDICAID WILL PAY FOR A GASTRIC BYPASS! It depends on your medical issues and if the surgery is a medical necessity. In SC, an many other states, the BMI has to be over 40 in order for medicaid to even look at your case. It can definitely be done. I would talk to my PCP directly and have them to refer you to a surgeon that specializes in that field! GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY!
