Anyone been denied by Medicare for RNY

I am on Medicare and with that said, they want three yrs of documented efforts on losing weight by taking diet meds, I said there is not a doctor out there that would give me, with diabetes and highblood pressure, sleep apnea to have me on diet medication, so I got a call about a month ago, I was told I was approved, thinking by Medicare, I then had a question and someone from the Bariactric office, said I was approved by their dept, and that I would have the surgery, an then my claim will be sent to Medicare, now isn't that alittle backwards? Is there anyone out there waiting for approval by Medicare? Appreciate any feedback. gail
