Marcia, Could you please send me the link again. It would not open for me. Your message made my heart flutter as this is better news than I had imagined. Look forward to your response. Patty I heard from Medicare and they are reviewing approval of the Sleeve Gastrectomy. The policy is open and they are accepting public comments. The link is: www.cms.medicare-covergae-database/details/nca-details.aspx?NCAld+258&ver=2&NcaName+Bariatric+Surgery+for+the+Treatment+of+Morbid+Obesity+(2nd_+Recon)&bc=ACAAAAAAAAAA Please view the site and let's get some support going! Marcia Has anyone found out anything as to the Medicare approval date for the sleeve gastrectomy? I am new to this forum but not to obesity. I want this surgery so bad as so many people do!

Actually, not confusing at all. I do have a secondary insurance with federal gov't (GEHA). I have the same diagnoses as yours (but a few more)!. I will check on the secondary tomorrow. Thank you so much for the info and response. Stay well.
