I'm on Medicare. I have my support meeting and my dietitian meeting on the 24th and I have my PCP appointment on 1 March and she's going to finish the letters. Then they send it for approval at that time.
I too wanted the sleeve, but my surgeon said due to me already having Gerd, there is a potential to get Barrett's Esopagus, so I agreed to go with the Roux n y. I am waiting for approval.
