I've decided on the VSG and wondered if anyone has ever used one of these medical tourism websites.  If so, is there one you can recommend?  I am a self pay patient so I am concerned about getting the best value for my dollar but dont want to compromise safety.

Thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR

Do you know for sure that your insurance won't cover it? I had mine done in October with Dr Duffy at Yale. I have BCBS and they covered it. Both Dr Duffy and his partner Dr Bell do VSG and, so far, everything has worked out great for me. Surgery was a breeze, my weight loss is good, and I'm happy with my choice of VSG.

Good luck!

yes im sure my insurance won't cover it.  they indicated it is not a covered benefit  at all for my plan i am on.  im an employee of this ins company and they give their employees the worst plans possible.  i would fight it but could end up jeopardizing my job so i decided it was not worth that.  i really need my job.

great to hear you are happy with your results.  i hope all goes as well with mine.
