Does Medicare Pay for the Vertical Slevve Gastrectomy ???

I changed my mind now I'm getting a lapband

Hello.  Currently, medicare does not cover the Sleeve Gastrectomy, only the Adjustable Gastric Band and the Gastric Bypass.  Dr. Roller in Fayetteville is the most experienced Sleeve Surgeon in Arkansas, is a national teacher for the Sleeve Gastrectomy, and also has the only other Center of Excellence in Arkansas.  Good luck!  www.rollerweightloss.com

Medicare also covers the duodenal switch (in addition to the RNY and adjustable band).  Just because Dr. Roller doesn't do the DS, doesn't mean Medicare doesn't cover it.  Medicare paid for my duodenal switch.
