hi everyone, just wondering if anyone plans on having their vsg in November? Mine is scheduled for nov 19th with Dr Iannance in Edison NJ. I am still in the pre- testing phase, and havent got my insurance approval yet...super nervous and happy at the same time....anyone have problems with the insurance approvals?

I'm scheduled Nov 1 Dr.Pleatman in MI. Paying cash due to lower BMI so cant really comment on hoops insurance companies make you jump thru. Getting excited and also second guessing my decision due to lower BMI. Leaving in am for week of fun and sun in St.Johns. Hopefully will come to terms with my decision. Can't wait to be done! Good luck with your quest!

November 12 ! The countdown begins. I am happy to have some November sisters! Scared, happy, anxious.

Hi Nikki. I'm scheduled for Nov 9th with Dr. Ewing in Hackensack, Nj. I have horizon Bcbs and did not experience any problems.

Hi everyone, I am glad we can share our experiences as we go through this together...@evonnrae- I have bc/bs to- hoping they approve me to without any issues. @Cschenk- what is your BMI- insurance gave you an issue- mine is a 37 but i am pre-diabetic also.

My BMI is 33 with high cholesterol so never even considered insurance. Contemplated going to Mexico but then found local surgeon with decent cash price. Don't want my BMI to get any higher since have strong family hx of obesity and co morbidities.

I am getting my sleeve 11/19/12. Can't wait! Excited and nervous

Getting sleeved on November 6, in Ridgewood NJ with Dr. Schrope.

My insurance approval was very quick. I was completely surprised and incredibly happy.

Good luck!
