Does anyone know if there is a jump start program to do to get you back on eating right again? Like all shakes again, or? -

I had two sleeve surgeries done by Dr. Hucbach with Blossom. My stomach grew back and I put back my weight on from the first one. According to the doctor it is very rare, had the second on March 2015. Had the first one on December 7 2012. But I am not lossing any weight with the second one, I am back to my old habits and having a horriable time. All stress and medical problems. I haven't been to any group meetings, because I am afraid to live my husband alone. He is very ill. It is very depressing to have this happen. -

Hi Luci; Hi and welcome to the site. I just met with Dr. Umbach this week, he seems like a nice doctor. How do you feel about him? Did he do a good job for you? Did he have good bedside manners? I need to know as much as I can about him, I hope you can help me. Thank you, Karen

Who Got There Paper Work Submitted To Medicare Yet
dereksgram replied to Unobaby's topic in Insurance & Financing
Hi I was at my surgeons for the first time today, I drove home crying all the way!!! I need to have medicare, and told him about the decission what was made on June 27th, that they are approving the sleeve on a first come first serve bases. He told me they have submitted over 100 of them since the June 27 decission and has not been approved on any of them. Please tell me has anyone received a approval for the sleeve on Medicare. Thank you. -
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?

Hello all you wonderful people. I am a senior 66 yrs young, with a laundry list of medical problems and a BMI of 46. I know I read somewhere that as of June 27, 2012 that the sleeve surgery was going to be covered by medicare. I have told that to the surgery's nurse that checks eligibility and they keep telling me that I am not covered under medicare for that surgery. I know I read the guidelines wherever I have seen that article and I would be covered. The nurse wants me to finance the surgery and I don't want to do that. Can someone please clarify if it is covered or not. I live in Las Vegas, NV. Thank you all for your time, and any help you can give me. Respectfully, Karen
