As far as I understand it in Michigan, insurance companies are waiting for Medicare to say just what procedures they will cover in the coming year.  As of last month, Medicare did not cover the sleeve in Michigan.  I have HAP and Medicare and had to appeal my case and was ok'd as of today!!!!  But that had nothing to do with Medicare, just my insurance adjusting.  I believe they told me that they expect an answer by today, or atleast soon.  Check with your Medicare office in your state.  Good luck.

Never dreamed that I could feel this good about myself again.  Looking forward to many healthy years now.
