I'm looking for a Dr. in the Washington DC area to do the surgery. I have Aetna insurance. I'm not having any luck finding a Dr. that does the sleeve, if you know of one or have been to one I would like to know what you think of the Dr.

Thanks for the info. I did some research and I did come across Dr. Liao and he was having a seminar on the 16th and the 19th and does take my insurance. I do not have on record unfortunately with any Dr.'s , gym's etc. that my BMI was over 35 at any time for the last 2 years even though at times its was, I think my insurance is going to require it. The co-morbidites I have a few of them but BP is under control with meds, I have a heart problem, (thanks to phen-fen) but not the one they list, I have had 3 sleep studies done but they say I don't really have sleep apnea, but I do have a sleep problem for the last 20+ years that no one can figure out, and I snore terribly too. I was going to attend the one on the 16th, thinking I had support from my husband to look into this and if I even qualify according to my insurance. After telling him that I needed to go to Baltimore and that our insurance was going to be the one that either would say I did have the BMI required or not, he says something like well this probably won't work either. I said what do you mean ? He said the weight loss pills never worked either so this probably won't either. Well I was crushed, he has no hope in me or the procedure so I have let my plans for seeing if I can even have this done go for the time being. Sandi from southern Maryland
