Has anyone had the procedure done by a teaching hospital?

I was curious if it is possible to have the procedure done in the USA at a teaching hospital. As a private pay only person (my group insurance does not cover plus I am only BMI 31) I wondered if they offered it here in the USA at a bariatric teaching school. Those doctors are well supervised and you get two doctors for the price of one :eek:

Yep- I am having surgery tomorrow 3/2/11, by Dr. Wallace at Froedtert (Teaching Hospital) because as an employee at the Medical College of Wisconsin, it was covered at 100% there. Froedtert is in Milwaukee, WI... And pre-op process has gone really well.

Good Luck!
