Can you change which surgery you want?

Can you change which surgery you want after insurance approval? Or during insurance approval? Like from VSG to RNY

Since this will be unique to your surgeon and insurance company...it's best to ask them.

(but in general...yes, it might cause a delay, but you can change your mind)

Agree with Creekimp.

It may cause a bit of a later surgery date, but in the end you would be getting what you wanted so it would be worth it. Call the surgeon’s office as soon as you can and discuss your concerns. It shouldn’t be a huge issue really as most bariatric surgeons perform both surgeries.

Make sure you let us know what happens.
