VSG vs Lap Band

Feb 28, 2011

So here I am, on my way for approval of LB and I find out my insurance covers VSG.  I worry that the LB will react badly inside my body because I don't do well with things like fake earrings, contacts etc.  Basically my body rejects foreign objects but I was assured LB would be different... HMMM.. I then went to look into RNY and found that since I need to loose just at 100lb, VSG may be a good option for me with less complications than RNY. 

The bad part is that my Dr would have to change because I picked a group that only does LB. A local group (DR Odham) does the all of the procedures but they charge a program fee where as Louisville Surgical did not have a fee.  Either way, I am going to both seminars - one for each Dr - to see which program fits me best and which group I like better.
