that's is laying it out there. THANK YOU

I am pretty sure Dr. Sharma takes my insurance!!!!! He is also, located close to where i work so i could do appt on my lunch breaks. I am taking this as a sign today.

I had my gallbladder out when I had crapband. I have found two that sound like they do it that are covered by my insurance. I will look into dr sharma tomorrow and Dennis smith to see is they are covered by my insurance.

Thanks.

do you know where he practices? I live in Jacksonville

I really cannot believe doctors would be so sketchy. A, its sad, and b, it makes me angry that we are supposed to be able to trust them and know that we really can't. So if I ask him the questions can I believe him? or do just not go to him?

my insurance will only pay of the (CPT code 43845) which I believe is the HESS method. Again I am learning so much from everyone and I am so grateful to all of you. I think the worst part will be the 3 month dietician process. Then the letter of medical necessity to my insurance to then again...

I can not even imagine how that would feel.

The more I read about it, the more I think its the surgery for me. I am still reading though, these forums help. I have had crapband and had it removed. I want something with lasting results.

Thank you so much for the info! i will probably print this out to keep with me.

Okay so even if the doctor says they do it they don't? or I just should not go to them? Again I do not mean to sound naive about this, I am just trying to understand.

thanks.

Thank you for the info and inviting me to the site.

So what is this? Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch? - now I am really confused. i thought I had made sure he did the right kind. I am not sure what to do now. he is the only doctor covered by my insurance.

I am new to the site. I am gathering information on DS and I meet with my PCP on WED, and a surgeon on Monday. I have Cigna HMO. I am trying to do as much research now, get my ducks in a row so that I have as much info as possible before I start this long processes.
