Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  Switching Doctors Hi all! After 3 years post-op in July ... I have to find a new doctor to take care of me!! My insurance has changed and my old Doctor won't accept it! I live in the Pittsburgh, PA/Monroeville, PA area. My old Doctor was Dr. Colella/Allegheny General Hospital. I now need someone who accepts UPMC insurance in that area. Any thoughts?? Anyone know of someone in that area?? HELP!!

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

| Super Moderator  | Have you checked the American Society for Metabolic & Baritric Surgery's web site? They have a state by state list of recommended surgeons.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I have checked out the website you suggested. However, I wish someone on this forum could give me a name of someone THEY prefer. Just picking a name at random is a bit scary!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I would call your insurance company and ask them who they have listed to take care of patients such as yourself. They have to have somone innetwork or make provisions for you to see the same Dr and pay at his normal rate. |
