DS surgeon request
Not that I know of. I used Dr. Rabkin in San Francisco because I think he's the best. He comes to Chicago for our support group meetings a few times a year, too.
Some DSers from this board have used Dr. Marshall in the Peoria, Illinois area and have been pleased with his work.

See the complete list of "vetted" DS surgeons on www.dsfacts.com .
Lots of good info there...
There's Dr. Anthone in Omaha, Dr. Inman in Indianapolis, Dr. Berntsen in Topeka... all close to you.

I'll chime in here. I live in the St. Louis area. There are no DS surgeons in Missouri, from what I found. I'm traveling to California to have my DS. My suggestion to you is, based on your insurance or self pay situation, you know you will need to travel so try to find the best surgeon for you and do your research. Good luck!
Definitely check out the list of surgeons on the dsfacts web site. There are also other places on the internet to go for more information. (See below.)
Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!
