Hi All I have been waiting about 6 .5 weeks for approval from medicare. Does anyone know how long it takes to get approved? My dr. is Dr. Huges from riverside, columbia s.c. Now I will have to pay my deductible again for 2013, that sucks.

I waited 2 days for medicare to pay for me..I was the first In the united states to pay for the sleeve..I also have medicaide..I don't know how my doc got me approved so fast but medicare will probably turn you down the first time but dont give up appeal it

I meant to say approve my sleeve sorry lol
