I am not about to give up on this, but this is getting really difficult and discouraging. I need to find a GOOD surgeon for a consult and hopefully weight loss surgery and I am getting NOWHERE. First I tried calling my insurance provider to see what doctors were covered under my plan, but they said they cannot "look-up" a weight-loss surgeon, only a general surgeon. So I start looking up weight loss surgeons online and from this website, but none seem to be covered. I feel like this is just one big vicious cycle and I cannot seem to get this process started, which I am SO DESPERATE to do! Any suggestions?

Wow! Thanks for the quick replies! I didn't realize I forgot to say my LOCATION! I'm in New Jersey. I used the link you supplied Stephy and I was back on the familiar page of Oxford. I choose specialist and it comes up with hundreds of specialists. There's no category that narrows down the search. When I call Oxford Member services, it goes nowhere... Screeden, I thought that insurance providers covered certain doctors, not hospitals... but if that's the case I could try that route... I hate to be so discouraged this early on in the process... this is supposed to be the easy part!
