My surgeons office insurance specialist said that AETNA insurance would not allow me to go through the "normal" DesPeres (Excellence center) Hospita or DePaul Hospital WLS doctors (dietician / behavior therapist etc) like most of their patients due to their restrictions they wanted much higher qualified docs (such as an eating disorders psychologist) etc etc / I was hoping to find a very recently approved sleever in St. Louis who has AETNA to get their list of all doctors used that got them approved . I know it's a long shot but I'm not sure where to go - my a Surgeon is Dr Minkin - one of the best in Missouri . Thanks.

Cash pay in STL for me is $18,000.00 just for the surgeon so all together on self pay sounds about right to me. Vegas has self pay deals around $11,000-$14,000 all inclusive

Yes - i am on Cobra for this reason and was hoping to go the 3 month route but there are no clear answers from my contacts with any pros so far.

I appreciate your reply and info. Thank you i will search missouri and st louis.
