New Here & New to VSG

[PGee 318]

Hi all!

I'm new to the forum and am considering VSG.....I have thought about surgery for years, but have been afraid---surgery scares the heck out of me, but the future seems rather bleak if I don't get this weight off...........the big 5-0 is coming up soon, and it's unsettling.......with health concerns, I don't see getting to a healthy weight happening w/o surgery.

I had a sister and a friend who had the bypass a number of years ago, and that just isn't for me. A friend had lapband, and I would prefer not to deal with the adjustments for maintenance.

I went to the informational session last night, and meet with the surgeon next week.

The procedure is covered 100% and need to go through a 3 month period before the surgery to meet with NUT & Psy.....will find out next week what hoops I have to jump through...........I know one will be my PCP.......I'm not sure if he will be supportive.....

Thankfully, my husband of 29 years is onboard with this.

Has anyone had Cigna, and were they good to deal with for this process?

Thanks for all the helpful info posted on the forum. :wub:
