Hi Marisol. I've never heard of this website but I'm also from the east coast. I would reach out to others that have been banded in your area to determine who are the best docs. I think we are each others best resource. I learned from others in my area several surgeons to steer clear of. Some questions I would suggest: What are their requirements (aside from your Insurance company)? Do they require you to go to any informational meetings prior to your first appointment? Do they offer nutritional counseling? Do they offer a meal plan post-op? If so, what is their recommendation. Knowledge is power! Best of luck to you.
