I've heard that the 2010 insurance codes have come out and the vertical sleeve is now in there. Anyone here with inside insurance knowledge?

You are correct... This is the new  CPTcode 43775 Laparoscopy, surgical, gastric restrictive procedure; longitudinal gastrectomy (ie, sleeve gastrectomy).  This does not mean all insurance companies will cover this procedure.
