I have been reading your posts with interest cuz I want VS and believe that due to other medical concerns, this is the best surgery for me. I have Medicare. I think it is a great idea to write to the Medicare appeals people, as well as your congress person. It is a safer procedure, cheaper, and works well. I think they should expecially get the cheaper part! But especially if you can't get the other surgeries, I think the appeals is a good way to go- I hope. Maybe petions on Facebook, Twitter, etc. too? good luck to everyone!
