Hi! My name is Tanna. I am looking for other Maryland Sleevers to connect with! I am scheduled to have surgery on March 27th with Dr. Gandsas in Annapolis! Getting very excited!!

Hi!! I'm in Maryland (Eastern Shore) as well. I'm just starting out on this journey. I'm hoping to go with Johns Hopkins Bariatrics but had considered AaMC

Hi Kelly! Welcome! I'm pretty new too. I just scheduled a consult with Dr. Gandsas for May 2nd. I'm excited - ppl have said great things about him. I hope all goes well for you over there on the Eastern Shore!

Thank you! I hope all goes well for you too. Let us know how your consult goes

I'm near Hagerstown MD. I'm hoping to have my surgery sometime this summer. My insurance denied my first submission, so a few more hoops to go through and my Dr's office will resubmit.

Hi Grrwuff, I am hoping for summer surgery too. Who do you have insurance thru? I have Coventry. I submit the 1st week of May and am praying that they don't give me a hard time. What kinds if things is your insurance company requesting now?

I have Care First Administrators, which is a little different than just Care First. That made things a little confusing at the Dr's office. My insurance says I have to lose 5-10% of my body weight before approval. The dietitian said she had another client with the same insurance and she even gained weight and was approved. It just depends on which person at the insurance co. reviews the case and how picky they are.
