I have decided that I want to get a vertical sleeve gastrectomy. I'm concerned about insurance approval and wondering if anyone has any experience with a similar set of circumstances. My BMI is 39.7 (talk about a bogus double edged sword) I have high cholesterol, though not enough for medication. I also have generalized anxiety, a titch of depression, hidradenitis supuritiva, chronically sore back and knees. I know my specific insurance covers VSG but I'm worried they won't cover me. I've already seen my PCP and she's onboard and has given me a referral to a bariatric center here. Now I'm just waiting for my consult. Anyone have a similar set of circumstances and get approved?
