After two years of getting denied by insurance companies, I am finally getting my VSG done on August 1, 2014! Any tips for me? How was the pre op diet for you? Was it hard to stick to? I need all of the help I can get!

That's coming up soon! Congrats!

What insurance companys? How did it finally go through? [some of us need help of a different kind]

I got denied my united health care and blue cross blue shield..... I finally just decided to get it done in Mexico and it's also insanely cheap and there's no hoops that they make you jump thru! You should visit the site www.mexicobariatriccenter.com .... It's an American based BBB accredited company that sets up surgery for you for a fraction of the price you would get in the US

Congratulations! That insurance battle can be long and bloody Way to go not giving up!

I don't have a lot of advice yet, as I'm pre-op as well. Soon though, soon!
