Hi I am new here, but I have been on the journey since March 2012. Everything is moving so slow. My insurance tells me they will cover the vertical sleeve if it is a medical necessary. The Insurance Lady at my Doctor's office is being to by the insurance that they go by Medicare guidelines and the VSG is not covered. Is anyone else going thru this? I am also frustrated with the Psychologist I saw. She feels I need follow ups with another Physchologist because of my medication and because of anixiety. Now that will take more time. I thought this process would take 3 months.....

I would really appreciate input on this, thank you so much!

I have anxiety and take meds and i got clearance on my first visit. If there a different psych you can see? Maybe this is a good thing if your anxiety is too severe. The first time I tried this was 2 years ago and turned down for anxiety. It was a blessing. I truly was not ready.

Yes I have a little anxiety of course, sometimes I am so excited and than I might be a little nervous. But nothing major. I am 56 yrs. old and I know what I want and I am very ready. My problem is I am disabled with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS) and Fibromyalgia. So I am on several different meds. I am sure that it will all work out, I hope!! Thank you for replying!
