So, my mom is thinking about getting the lap band and she was wondering where in Minnesota she could go to get it.

Which doctor would everybody recommend having her go to?

Most important is to find out which surgeons are in her network or covered by her insurance. For example my primary sent me to a group that my insurance wouldn't cover! LOL Fortunately I thought to ask them before I started all the paperwork etc. She needs to start there, and then can narrow it down to a surgeon she likes.

You want one who has done a lot of lap band procedures, who offers good after care (is accessible) and whom she likes.

Okay thanks. I wasn't sure because the process for me was so much easier than it probably will be for her!!!
