It's been four months since I made the decision to have my VGS. I've been to the psychological evaluation, been through the standardized four monthly visits with the dietician and physician, now I'm waiting and praying for insurance approval. I'm optimistic about posting results soon. Thank you all for sharing your stories. Currently I'm 300lbs at 5'10 and my goal weight is 200lbs.

Sending prayers up that you will get approved. My starting weight was 300 as well and I'm 5'8". I'm now 245. I'm almost 2 months post surgery. My goal is 195.

Thank you FMoore2004, I received the call from BCBS today! I'm now waiting for my surgeon to schedule me! Thank you so very much for your encouragement and kind words. I was very concerned and anxious
