Just received a call from my surgeons office, she called to tell me that medicare and medicaid has approved the sleeve gastrectomy but has to wait for a submission date so she can submit my paper work.. But yes it is approved!! I'm so excited!! I'm in Philadelphia for those who are in near by states..

Thanks.. I waited cause I originally was looking into the bypass and chickened out and when I recently started looking again I came across the sleeve which was much more safer for me...

Awesome news!

Congrats!!!!!

I am so happy for you! When I read Medicare/Medicaid is now covering the sleeve I was soooo thrilled!

Now I have to take care of some things before we can process the paper work, but I think I am getting

closer each day. I hope!
