Who's getting sleeved February 18?!?!
Mastiff_mama replied to banditchic's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hope all fellow 18ers are doing well! First day behind me! Last night so miserable the surgery ....I was in a lot of pain, but most of that was body pain from another condition. They're giving less pain meds here than I get at home! -
Headed to the hosp! This is scary, huh? Surgery at 7:00 am cat!

My surgeon was telling us about alcohol....he was tiptoeing around it and he just stopped and chuckled and said you'll be a cheap drunk! We all laughed but he warned us to but drink much and not for months and try to avoid all carbonation

Doesn't matter! I switched to an advantage plan when I knew I was having this surgery. I am single and couldn't come up with 20%. Medicare covers whatvit covers! http://www.obesitycoverage.com/component/zoo/item/medicare-requirements-for-weight-loss-surgery -

When did they tell you that? Medicare approved VSG in July 2012. Arkansas, which is in a larger region didn't approve it until Jan, but mine was ready to go as soon as it was approved and I get sleeved Monday! Check again. I can't have the others either....its an nsaid thing....its very common for many to only be able to have this surgery. But Medicare DOES cover this surgery.
