I am having a hard time finding a surgeon that performs VSG in Indiana. Insurance Anthem BCBS says its covered but have to stay in Indiana. I live in southern Indiana, but willing to travel thruout the state. PLEASE help!! thank you in advance. Kelly

You can use the above to search by zipcode.  There is a surgeon in Evansville but it is not a center of Excellence which most insurance companies require and is a sign they meet a minimum standard for that certification.

You need to travel 100 miles for a center of excellence.

The code for VSG is SG and this is not the VSG board, you stumbled on the VBG board.

my son had the DS in Carmel by Dr. Margaret Inman.   I think she also does VSG if I am not mistaken.    St. Vincent's Hospital is very nice as I went out there and spent a week when he had the surgery.
