United health care now requires 6..

So i went to my first consultation today and united health care now requires 6 month supervised diet. Also as of 3 months ago they do not cover the VS surgery they only cover Gastric By pass and the band.. my surgeon suggested I switc insurance. Its teh time of year at my job so it perfect he suggested Oxford..I dont know. ohh and oxford doesnt require 6 months diet. so any suggestions. I dont know what should I do

If you are determind to have vs then you should switch ins. But wouldn't you have to wait the 3mo waiting period anyway if you switched?
6mos flies by! And if you decide to do gastric bypass you wouldn't have to wait long if you started now. You would be done by march!

Do whatever you need to do to get the procedure that is right for YOU. Don't get something just because insurance bullies you into it if it's not what you really need/want--that can definitely end up backfiring!

Thanks for replying guys,It is true that I should do what best works for me. I guess i should do more research on the gastric bypass because I was all set on the vs.  Well regardless of which i already made the appointment with my primary care for next week to get the ball rolling on the 6 month issue, just incase I decide to stay with them. so lets see what happens.. I just wanted the VS because it seemed less risky. well let me start my research

Research is the best thing you can do for yourself. Don't forget to research the Duodenal Switch. Spend a couple weeks on each forum and decide what is best for you. I went from Gastric Banding to VSG to DS and am 100% sure the DS will work best for me.

Edited to add: The DS is more likely to be covered by insurance since it is now covered by Medicare. The VSG is still considered experimental.

Good luck.
