Hi,

Jumping through the hoops can be aggrevating/discouraging, but will be worth it in the end. I felt the same way; time has flown by and now I am awaiting surgery scheduled later this month. I agree with Woo Woo, you want to be covered just incase something goes wrong.

Take care!

So, I changed insurances to one that covers VSG. As per usual, there are 983 hoops to jump through as well as all the co-pays, deductible, and co-insurance payment for the surgery. I'd probably end up paying the same amount after all that. Honestly, after reading so much here, I'd almost just rather forget the insurance crap & head to Mexico!! Has anyone done this? Thoughts?

Congrats guys, best wishes!

Good morning, I am glad that you are doing well. I am scheduled for surgery January 30th and I can hardly wait. I am having issues with emotional eating. Can you give me the information on the program that you joined? Thanks

I wrote a long comment and then lost it lol.
I was suggesting my surgeon, Dr. Feiz he is BH but he does surgery in Valencia and at UCLA in Santa Monica or Westwood.
I also have Blue Shield/ Blue Cross PPO and he worked with my insurance and it was a very smooth process. You can call him and discuss with him or his team.
I am 3 months after surgery and I doing well. Did not have any complications and to the contrary it was a very safe and speedy recovery. Now I am just working on keeping a healthy diet and choosing wisely.
Good luck again and keep us posted.
Oh one more thing, I joined a program for people with eating disorders and it has been helping me a great deal. Learning to address your emotional needs and not just eat.
