I am a non-ambulatory, total care, 4'10" woman+about 200lbs. excersize is not an option due to atrophies. will medicaid pay4 surgery 2help lose weight?

Nutritionist helps: A person who requires total care can have a nutritionist evaluate her daily caloric requirements. Since such a person needs help in order to acquire food, the "third person" must be involved. The goal is to acquire fewer calories than the body needs each day, and weight will decrease. Example: 1600 cal. Are needed daily, but acquire only 1300 cal. Per day (use zero-cal. Drinks for snacks/drinks).
