Hopefully good news
Hopefully I will be getting my good news about my referral to my local Surgeon!!
I went to the Dr. yesterday and she said that it's def a good idea for me to get this done!!! I think that I have chosen my surgery type. I think that I am going to go with the VSG. Nothing against the other surgeries and those who have them. I just think this is the best choice for me. It all came down to possible complications and the fact that I didnt want to have multiple trips to the surgeon for fills (because the drive is 2 hours away). I don't mind driving to see the surgeon and his team every so often but as often as I would need to get filled. Keep your fingers crossed and please keep me in your thoughts and prayers!!! I actually think that I have a great shot of being approved!! But I am not getting my hopes up too much!

What's worth the PRIZE is ALWAYS worth the FIGHT!
Jeanine,
Getting through the insurance red tape can be a huge headache but it is well worth it. I had RNY on 9-3-09 have lost 110 pounds. I didn't think the band was for me and my surgeon wasn't doing VSG at that time. I don't regret my decision for a minute; everybody has to decide what is best for them. You'll do great!

Good choice Jeanine. There is a proper surgery for everyone, and the decision is between you and your surgeon. Most important is to set a plan and stick to it. Can't wait to hear that you have a date set for surgery.
