My Name is Marilyn 3 years ago I had the lapband for about 8 months which aggravated my tortourus esophagus & I had to have it removed. I have a BMI of over 50. I have Medicare as my primary & BCBS of Illinois for my secondary. I just met with my surgeon a week ago today talking about the VSG. He thought it would be the safest surgery for me...I am not even eligible through Medicare & I have been going through severe depression that I am seeing a doctor for. If I don't get this surgery I am going to die...I need all the support I can get...so will you please help me?
