I had surgery in N. Va.. The hospital was Sentera ( was called potomic ). The dr. is chief and head dr of the wt loss clinic there.. Wonderful Wonderful group of ppl. Most states side insurances will not cover surgery unless your bmi is over 35 with complications, but there is no reason not to try and see what they say.. Most first time consult with dr. are free so you can discuss then..

I would never go out of country but that's just me. I have heard of ppl going and they have had wonderful results, so I will allow them to discuss...

Good luck
