Help! I have so many questions!

I have been given the "ok" from my PCP to have the surgery but I live in a small town. The only surgon that did the operation retired recently. So, I checked into the BTC in Ohio and they won't be able to help me until they sign up with my insurance company. They have put me on a waiting list and I will be called in a month or so!?!?! From there I will be given an appointment with a wait of a month or more... Then I will have 90 days more before they do the operation!!!! Where can I go and how do I get an appointment with a doctor in a reasonable amount of time? <b>(I live in Northwestern PA)</b> Also... I have had a ton of operations in the past and I do not ever do well post-op due to the drugs they use to knock me out. The type of operation I want is the Lap roux-en-y... Do I have a choice or am I doomed to be split wide open? Does anyone out there have any doctors that they could point me toward that would be willing to do the Lap and that has a good record and enough 'practice' with lap Roux-en-y? Please email me at [email protected] Thank you! Tracey
