WLS in Alaska

I'm 27 y/o and considering WLS but having a bit of trouble with which KIND. I live in Alaska and have heard that we have a very limited selection to choose from, but as of yet i cant find out what that selection IS. Is there anyone from AK who can answer that for me? Thanks

    In the top menu ribbon of the website there is a menu option that says 'SURGEONS'. Click on that, and you can put in all kinds of search criteria, including what state, what insurance, even dial it down to a zip code. That should be a good place to start. Then you can google them and see if their clinics have informational websites/

    You can also search other members in your area by searching 'PATIENTS' and contact them directly.

    Hope this helps!

    Unfortunately I've already done the surgeon search. Alaska only has 3 (1 on base so only 2 available to me) and neither has information about what they perform online. I didn't think about contacting other members however. I hate to bother people but i just may have to. Thanks for the idea!!

    I found out the answer to my own question so wanted to share. The band, sleeve, and roux-en-y are all done in Anchorage AK
