I am brand new to this. I live in the D/FW area and am looking for a GOOD, REPUTABLE, EXPERIENCED doctor that will take some kind of payment plan if your insurance does not cover. What is the total cost (for those who have been through it) and anyone having any suggestions about how to fight with your insurance company to get it covered would certainly help. I am a 44 year old female, 5'9" and weigh about 240. I think my BMI is 37.8.

ANY HELP OR SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY, GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Have you "talked" w/ Betty (Iloveharleys)? She's using Dr. Provost. She's self-pay, getting banded Monday in your area and loves her dr. She probably also has info. on other drs. in your area. Not sure about the payment plan. A lot of them have financing going through Capitol One and other credit card companies. Best of luck to you! :cool:
