http://go.cms.gov/Hel9dT  is the link to complete a form to urge the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid to pay for VSG.  Give them your story and how your health has been improved.  My bariatric group has sent this link out to urge everyone to submit comments, so that maybe they will reconsider and decide to pay for VSG.  I don't know if they pay now, or are just trying to consider whether they would pay.

Some people might not support my WLS decision. 
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.

Apparently, Medicare is in the process of approving Vertical Sleeve surgery for weight loss. The rumor is that perhaps by June 30, 2012 the surgery will be covered. I hope so, as it's the procedure I'd like to have.
