    I'm 65 yrs old with diabetes, sleep apnes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and don't know if my insurance will pay. I have Medicare with supplemental insurance with Mutual of Omaha. If it doesnt pay, I'm out of luck and cant afford it. I know its cheaper in Mexico but cant afford todo that either. So its all up in the air now. Really want to have this done.

    I live in Missouri. I had VSG surgery 3 years ago at age 68. I have Medicare and Mutual of Omaha, too. It paid for everything. But that's in Missouri. I know some plans / policies can vary state to state.

    I'm thinking you're going to be good.
