Where did you have your surgery and with what doctor/bariatric center?? I also have Medicare and was supposed to be having my band converted to a sleeve sometime this month. However the doctor's office just told me on Friday that the doctor is hearing from his colleague's that the haven't received payment from Medicare for their sleeve surgeries. I fit all the required criteria and now I'm trying to do my own research so I'm able to reassure the doctor that he will indeed receive payment. Thanks for any info that you have!
