I am scheduled to have my VS Surgery on November 16, 2011 at Brighams and Womens Hospital, Boston, MA. I am very excited, but a little nervous also. I do not like hospital or pain. I know people who have had the gastric by-pass surgery, but no one who has had the VS surgery. I just wanted to know, how long do you usually stay in the hospital and how do you feel after the surger?

I ripped all of the bypass stuff out to keep it simple. Scope is easy..u won't remember a thing. It's getting closer and I'm excited for you!! Your going to love it

Looking for advise....So, if you lose just 5-10 lbs a month by eating so little and exercising...is the surgery worth it? If you did all that without surgery, would you get the same results? I am thinking of getting the surgery in November... so I am asking, would you do it again knowing what you know now? Did you lose hair? Are you always in pain or does it go away? Do you ever live a normal life again?

I will be getting my Sleeve done either in November or December this year (upon insurance approval that is). Trying to meet people that has had this sx done and getting all the information I can.

I have been preparing for my surgery for months, and my little sister has been very supportive. She is also very heavy, and has been taking Phentermine for a few months. She had a check in with her primary doctoday and told the doc the meds aren't doing anything for her. She asked for information about bariatric surgery and was told by her doctor that it is a cosmetic procedure that most insurance won't pay for!!!! I'm utterly shocked! When my sis said she isn't interested in a bypass but a sleeve, the doc then told her it's not called a sleeve, it's called a lap-band. I told my sis I would be looking for a new doctor. That shocked me!!

If bariatric surgery is excluded from your coverage, you will not get insurance to pay for any reason. If your policy is through an employer, you can request that they change policies to one that includes it, or get a group of people at work that are interested in the surgery and provide statistics and data to management / HR about how some very expensive health issues are corrected with WLS. Wouldn't they rather pay $20K for WLS than $200K for heart bypass and rehab?
