Trying to locate a Surgeon/Hospital

Greetings -

I have a freind who is interested in getting banded. I was banded June 17th at Hackensack Hospital but she lives in Momouth County. Does anyone have a surgeon they can recommend near Momouth County that is in the Blue Cross-POS Insurance plan?

If so I would love to help my freind get on the band wagon with the rest of us.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

Gina

    I may sound a tad schizophrenic here, but I'll try anyway. It's important to be able to have follow-up care that you can get to easily, especially in an emergency. But, i would cross many county lines for a doctor with experience.

    I'm too lazy to look up NJ county lines, but...if there's a doctor many counties away who has done 300 bands and one down the street who has done 30...I'm going to be needing the car. The complication rate decreases exponentially as the doctor's experience with the lap-band increases.

    I agree, I would drive the distance also. But, she does not seem to be interested if it is not near her home. There are qualified

    Hospital's/Doctor's in her area are not part of her Insurance Network. I guess it all depends on how bad a person want's to do it, right?

    Thanks for the comment! Have a great day!
