My doctor told me that my branch of Mass health doesn't cover the VSG surgery. I really don't want a bypass. I have nothing against anyone who chooses it but I really just don't want to have my intestines rerouted. I'm just so frustrated because I'm just over half way to my goal and if I don't get approved then was it all for nothing? I definitely had a rough week...

You can always change your mind and get the bypass. You do lose quicker. I am happy to have the sleeve but if I didn't have a choice I would have picked the bypass. Do what is best for you though and good luck.

How would you being halfway to your goal be useless? I'm assuming you mean your weight. You're getting healthy, what's useless about that? If you don't get approved do you intend to continue on your wellness path?

What do you mean half way to your goal, are you on a pre op diet? My insurance did not cover any surgery, it has all been self pay for me, so I hear you.
