First look on your insurance companys web site. Contact listed MDs. You may also call your bariactric surgeon and ask if they have a list of MDs. I live in NJ and I had my eval done by Bridge Mental Health (732) 701-8400. Her name was Dr. Helen Demetriades. She was very understanding. Good luck!

lol. I live Upstate NY and my surgeon is in LI, NY. I travel almost three hours to seem him w/o a problem. His facility is some kind of wonderful...all of the doctors one will ever need in order to obtain clearance prior to this SILS (single incision laparoscopic surgery) band are in the same building working together with ea other - a great convenience for me. My surgeon's name is Dr. Hollover and he works together with Dr. Garber, both are certified to the gills in bariatric surgery. I have GHI PPO and Dr. Hollover is in the network for me. I do hope it all works out. Cheers.

I used Dr. Lon Geiser. I think he takes most insurance.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
