Default Got the OK for Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy

Hello Everyone,
I got the OK to get the VSG yesterday and now I'm just waiting for the date of surgery. I was told that it would be either may 21 or June 3. My insurance is covering this proceedure. I was going to get the RNY but changed my mind I just feel better about the VSG. I'm so excited I can't wait! I feel this will be a new beginning for me. I feel like I've been waiting forever even though I just started this whole mission back in October of 07. I wish there were more people out there who had this done so I could talk with them. It would be nice to see a separate part for the VSG like the RNY and Lapband have. I just hope that I'm able to take the weight off and keep it off. My friend had the RNY back in February and she looks great and she hasn't had any major complications. All the best to everyone. Lisa
