are there more?

My insurance rep just found out Id be approved for the band but I dont want the band. I want the VSG or the D switch(something permanent).

I SURE COULD HAVE USED SOME HELP WITH SURGERY CODES WHEN PRICING SURGERY AT LOCAL HOSPITAL THEY DO GASTRIC BY -PASS BUT MY SURGEAN HAS NEVER DONE REVISION SURGERY  SO WHAT COULD HAVE COST 22,000 BECAME 65- 95  & PLEASE PAY IN ADVANCE SINCE I HAVEN'T ANY INSURANCE. SINCE IT IS MEDICALLY NEEDED NOT A OBTION  I STARTED SEACHING DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. THEN I HAD TO WAIT FOR PASSPORT. NOW I'M SET WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS WEB SITE SOONER.

 if you google the surgery, say VSG CPT Code, you should be able to locate the codes. Most insurance companies will also have the Codes listed on their medical policy that they cover. 
Keep a smile on your face....it makes people wonder what you are up to!

I have seen 43843 for the VSG and 43845 for the DS. When you call ask what are their medical requirements (such as BMI) for each surgery.
