Thanks for the warm welcome! I will keep you posted..so far it isn't looking good..I called insurance again today and gave them the code I retrieved from the OH forum and they said there was no such code..???If anyone has the new 2010 code I would appreciate it!:svengo: Thanks again!

Hi everyone! I am brand new here..this is my first post!:lol0: I belong to OH also. I happened on this site through google as I was researching the VSG. Glad I did..I love this forum. I am not for sure if my insurance will approve VSG..I called today and the lady wouldn't tell either way..just that if Bariatric surgery is medically necessary then your Dr. will do the rest. I am new to insurance just got it first time ever in July. I was 2 weeks from having the DS(self pay)...I had some financial unforseen circumstances happen and I had to cancel the surgery! I was a wreck I was so siked for it! I was really mad at the hospital for not working with me at all.I guess they don't for anyone.I really believe it all happened for a reason...I was pretty nervous about the malabsorption part of that surgery.I will consider RNY..only if it is the LAST resort! I need to lose this weight and cannot do it on my own! I have wasted 25 years trying. I live in upstate NY...I am 44 years old and I like the fact that with the VSG you can take birth control...(I have never had to worry about that because of my weight). I have one child, a daughter who is 21. Thanks .... Kim :blushing:
