I don't know...but do you really want to be one of his first patients?

The complication rate is far lower when the doctor has done 50 lap bands or more. (All lap band doctors are experienced lap surgeons. The difference is how many lap bands they've done. And the less experienced guys don't routinely make mistakes, either. It's just that when you look at the big picture, there are half the problems with more experienced doctors that there are with the less experienced doctors.)

Maybe you can find an experienced guy who does take your insurance.

Good luck,

Sue
