Maryland doctors

[sherryred73 2]

Hi everyone. My name is Sherry. I'm beginning to research having lap band surgery. I'm currently hovering near 300 pounds. I just received information in the mail (with our new cards for the year) that says my insurance will cover weight loss surgery. What surgeons are the best in Maryland? What hospital do you recommend in Maryland?

Thanks

Hey congrats! Sherry. Unfortunatley I have to self pay. I'm going to Mexico for my surery. Once you narrow everything down and have the surgery. Let me know where you go for your fills cause I'll have to find someone in Maryland or DC to do my fills.

Hi! I went to Johns Hopkins Bayview for my surgery (Dr. Kim Steele) and am extremely happy. Their practice is great and the folks there are fantastic. I am -96 lbs (even though my ticker isn't updated) and feeling wonderful. Folks have also said they're happy with drs. at St. Agnes and other hospitals. Where in MD are you?

Caramia,

I am scheduled for my first consult with Dr. Averbach at St. Agnes, Dr. Singh's partner. So glad to hear it went well. How long did you process take from first consult to surgery? I am so anxious!

I'm from near St. Agnes Hospital and am going to make an appt. with Dr. Averbach. I've been to his seminar a year ago. I have decided to give it a try. My BMI is 43.2. I have knee arthritis and need to get this load off of me!! Good luck to everyone..Go to lapband dot com and search for doctors in any zip codes. D
