my ins did not cover VSG so I was stuck with RNY!
VSG is the most up to date and newest form of GBS.! Good luck

Hey look at that another Grand Health Partners patient! The issue to me came down to the malabsorbtion aspect of the RNY. I did not feel comfortable with that nor did I like that the remander of the stomach was left in place. The sleeve made the most logical sense to me and has a rate of success that is very good. I would, and have, recommended the sleeve to friends and family members.
