Hello there everyone.
I was told by my bariatric center that Medicare will not cover both my band removal and the sleeve. She said I would have to pay out of pocket $6900 for my band removal and then use my insurance for the sleeve. But, she then told me I had to get the bypass because Medicare won't cover the sleeve.
I know for a fact there are several people who got both surgeries done together and paid fully by Medicare.
Is this lady pulling my chain?
I'm going crazy, I'm so upset right now.
