 I have Neighborhood Health through MassHealth.  My question is would the sleeve be covered?

I am not sure if they do, but I did have the sleeve in MA and if you have any questions feel free to ask :)

Don't think so...I had the sleeve, great procedure for short term (2-4 years) but then Grehlin levels come back and you get very hungry. I would only choose the sleeve if you are comfortable with having a bypass or DS down the road. I'm having a DS because its my only option. Wish I picked the Band.

 Just in case anyone was wondering, I called the insurance and it's covered.

Yes, looks like they dont require the 6months diet as BMC requires!
If NHP approves me, my surgery will be on march 21, the whole process will take less than 2months!
