Any idea on self pay costs in Boston? I've been accepted for RNY at Mass General, but would prefer the sleeve. Insurance is Harvard Pilgrim and they say they don't cover the sleeve.

HI! I am usually on OH and there is a poster (jlthomp, I believe) on the Boston board who will be self paying for VSG in Boston. I *think* he said it was about 11K but don't quote me on that! Did HP give you a reason as to why they would'nt cover the Sleeve? My ins co didn't cover it either and I appealed their decision and won. Have you tried that?

Hi!

I am just a week out and do just what the other poster suggested. Give myself enough time to eat slowly. And, I'm all about trying to things at this point. There are several sweet choices for post-op but not all that many for savory so I've gotten creative. Regardless, I can't WAIT to get to my three week appt to have my diet advanced. Good luck to you!
