Dilated pouch. Will Medicare pay for repair?

I had a Roux-en-y last year and stopped losing weight after 2 months.  I just had upper endo and was informed that I had a dilated pouch.  I need repair.  Does anyone know what codes or info is needed to see if Medicare will pay for?

How much weight did you lose in those two months? What's your CURRENT BMI? I've been told that Medicare will cover revisions, IF your weight/co-morbidities still qualify you.

If you still have a high BMI, you really should consider being revised to the DS.

I only lost 30 lbs in about 3 months then the weight loss stopped.  I have remained at 190lbs since then Feb 2011 (7 months now). BMI is 35.  Co-morbities still High blood pressure, sleep apnea and tryglycerides went from 200 in Feb to 250 currently.  My Dr is going to call Medicare so I was trying to gather as much info as possible.

I am afraid that they will not pay.  I have a blown out stoma and my BMI is back to 35 as well.  I went to MANY dr's seeking a revision and spent countless hours on the phone with medicare.  Since medicare will not pre-approve any surgeries, it is a crap shoot for the dr.  I saw at least 10 bariatric surgeons and the all said they would not do the surgery because no matter what/how/how many times the file with Medicare, the bill is denied.

Medicare does not have a cose and will not give you one even if you call and speak to a supervisor.

Sorry.  I was told if I wanted my MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION (not by my own fault) fixed, I would have to pay for the dr portion of it...the hospital will get paid, but the dr bill wont.  If I had $5000 to fix it I wouldnt be on medicare.
