Facebook Live


Last week we had a live Facebook session.  There were probably 10 people on-line, but it was fun.  People were interacting.  Dr. Kuhn was present from 9-10pm.  Questions were asked. Fun was had.  We will try to make this a weekly thing.  (especially for those who can't come into the support groups!!!!)

SLEEVE APPROVED BY
MEDICARE!!!


Last Week, we got word that Medicare will start to approve the Sleeve Gastrectomy. 

The National decision will be relegated to the Regional carriers for Medicare to make some final determinations. 

We hope to clarify those items with TrailBlazer.  We will update on Facebook as we progress through this.
