Recently, United Healthcare has become the first major insurer to recognize the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy as a proven, not experimental, bariatric surgical procedure. I suspect that other insurers will soon likely follow suit. This will open up further choices and options for our patients. We have been performing the Sleeve Gastrectomy with great success over the last few years and as more insurance companies start covering it, I’m sure the procedure will rise in popularity.
