too good to be true....
Well it certainly stinks that you have to go through that wait again... but at least it's a "small" bump in the road. If the insurance for some reason turns down the VSG, you know you have the approval for RNY. I hope things are expediated since you have submitted the paperwork already and just are asking for a switch of procedures.
Good luck!

Awww - sorry to hear that. That can be SO frustrating.
I'd ask to keep the date for a bit more in case they come back quickly. All they can do is say no.

Has Tricare added the VSG? Last I heard it was band or RNY...that's the extent of their "know-how", unless you go to Madigan in WA state where they have a military surgeon that does the DS and if he knows how to do the DS, he knows how to do the VSG.
