Hello Eric,
I'm not sure if my insurance will cover the vsg. I'm waiting to call on Mon. My Doctor is from a center of excellence in Florida and has been doing the weightloss surgeries since "95". This is the first vsg that he has done since coming to the UP. I will be asking a lot of questions and I already know that he has had 2 deaths since "95" so I feel pretty confident with him. He is very picky and tells you that. I also know that the 2 deaths were from their personal mistakes not from the doctor. I asked and one was that the patient wasn't suppose to use the apap machine for at least 2 weeks after surgery and didn't listen. I don't know what happened with the other person. I was wondering if the vsg is similar with the after surgery diet as the rny? How was your recovery? is it worse then the rny? How painful was it? I hope to hear from you more. Lisa
