Hi! I'm doing ok. Every day has gotten a little bit better.

I just saw this notification. How are you doing?

Hi! I’m scheduled for October 3rd!

Hi! I'm scheduled for my VSG on October 3rd.

There's been a few headaches, I never even got my appointment, as the hospital system in my town stopped negotiations with the health insurance provider I had. I was fortunate enough to be able to change to a different provider, and have appointments rescheduled, but the whole situation set me back about 6-8 months.

Update: insurance finally approved the in-office visit and I have an appointment scheduled for January.

Hi! Thanks for the recommendations Shoppgirl ! My insurance paperwork says it will cover the Gastric Bypass only, so that’s what I’m looking at, as there’s no way I could afford it otherwise. Everything is through the surgeons office, they covered that in the phone call.

I should add: I’ve done the orientation videos, and had a “phone consult” already. Just waiting on approval for in-office.

Hi I’m Mandy! I’m just starting this whole journey. I’ve been thinking about it for a while now, but am finally ready to take the steps. I’m currently waiting for a consultation appointment, since my insurance requires referrals and such. Any advice on good questions to ask during a consultation?
