Obesity surgery

I’m a new member here and it’s really interesting reading all the
posts because they all have something of what I want. My real name
is Pepe and I live near Miami, Fla. There I have chosen to do my
Gastrix Bypass Surgery at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial
Hospitals. I’ve taken a few of the required exams already for surgery
approval and will keep taking them until there is nothing left but
me, the surgeon and the operating room.

I am temporarily disabled and I was wondering if any of you used your
Medicare Parts A & B for the exams and the operation. I don’t have
Medicaid and no other insurance other than the Medicare. The doctors
nurse and the Billings lady both say that they will cover everything,
and to resubmited if they do not approve it at first.

Can any of you who have had similar situations like me with Medicare,

give me some feedback? If the doctors say yes to the operation and
later Medicare doesn’t come thru, well I’ll be a very, very happy
skinny guy paying them $10/month for the rest of my life.

Thank you for your time,

Pepe
