dereksgram 2 Posted July 26, 2012 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?
