Hi, ex bander here looking for VSG.  My current insurance, Tufts Navigator, still refuses to pay for sleeve surgery with the only options being RNY and Lapband.  Has anyone had success with having tufts pay for their sleeve?  Thanks

Hi Deb,

I remember you from years ago.  I am also an ex-bander with Tufts insurance.  They paid for my RnY and I have been very successful with it.  I am two years post op and have been very successful.  I have been at goal and found the surgery to be a much better choice for me than the band, much easier to live with.  The only thing is that you really do need to take your vitamins every day for the rest of your life.  I used Dr Lautz who has done quite a few revisions.  Hope you are okay.
