Is there a Bariatric center in Nevada.....

Is there a Bariatric center in Nevada that will handle all the paperwork with your insurance company? All the letter writing, testing, etc.?    — Alisa Sheets (posted on August 31, 2005)

First Off, let me start by saying Good Luck! It's a wonderful/scary/exciting/bumpy journey...but well worth it! I am 7 months out and have lost 112 pounds so far! Unfortunately, I can't tell you about Dr's/Surgeons in Nevada, but you can do a search here in OH...look up top for the link to "Find A Doc" for one...or you can start with your PCP (primary care physician) through Blue Cross and get a referral...that's usually what you have to do to get the ball rolling with insurance anyway. I went to my pcp and he and his office staff helped me through the referral process then the Surgeon's Group helped me with the actual approval. It was not too bad...just be prepared to write a letter about your entire OBESITY HISTORY - EVERYTHING! EVERY DIET ATTEMPT - EVERYTHING!
