I am getting VSG in March. Wish I could get it now:0) but have to get all of my testing done. My insurance is with Aetna and they require 3 mos of dieting. My dr says he is sure I will get approved. It was a little discouraging, because he is not a big VSG advocate and wanted me to get the lap band, but he said he would do it, because it is my decision. I am excited to soon be on this weight loss journey. I know it is going to be a lot of work on my end, but I am ready for the challange!
