Medicare approves the Sleeve...well sort of.

Jul 08, 2012

 I am so glad that Medicare has finally approved the VSG, well in a way they have (link to statement below). Seems there is a lot of wiggle room still to overcome.  I will need to find out if "my state" is going to do it.  Let's hope they do.  Then, make sure I "qualify".   Given the basic qualifications I am good.  I don't know if the regional center can put any other "limits" on coverage.   Luckily, I live close to two different regions.  So if one doesn't.....maybe another???   
Guess I will call my surgeon's office and see what is up.   Wish me luck!
