I'm about 7 weeks out and feel pretty good. I can eat anything but steak just very little of it. It sucked bad at first but definitely improves

Hello, I live in Las Vegas. But I am just starting out on this adventure. The surgeron is going to Be Dr. Teng, does anyone know him?

I am a medicare person, today he told me that Medicare is not paying for the sleeve, but I brought him in the new information that as of June 27 they are giving approvals on a one on one bases. He told me that isn't true that he has submitted over 100 of them for sleeves and has not received one approval. I am wondering if anyone has used Medicare for there sleeve surgery?

Dr Teng did one of my friends surgeries and she thinks he was an excellent surgeon. I didn't have medicare but I hope you can get approval. If he's not willing to work for approval you can always try a different surgeon in Vegas!
