Aloha Rosebud, I live in the Hawaiian Islands. This info was given to me by Dr. Cirangles office in SF. Drs Atkinson and Soong bandandbypass.com. The girl that answered phone says they do VSG and Medicare pays for it. They were going to call me back with more answers, but have not yet. I am in hope of being able to go to Vegas for surgery. I will go to Mexico as second choice. I still have a chance they might do surgery at Castle Hospital in Honolulu. There is a seminar on my Island to attend this month. Every one gives you a different answer when it comes to Medicare. Its very confusious for this old chicken. Congrats to you for your sucessful journey. What an accomplishment !!!! Just to know you will never be over weight again, must be heaven. Verne :blushing:

Wow, what a success story. You are my hero !!! I am so happy you reached this mile stone and posted. CONGRATSULATION !!!! I will be 68 this year. And have been researching for the last year. I keep thinking that maybe that I am too old and foolish to take the risk of surgery. After 30 years of yoyo dieting, its taken its toll on my body. 10 years of Fibrobromyalgia and now RA, plus heavy duty meds. I also want to live to be 100 years old. Might have to be self pay, but trying to see if Medicare will do. I did find a Dr in Vegas that takes Medicare. Thank you so much for the inspiration, god bless you Susanne. Verne:thumbup:
