Question:
looking for a surgeon that performs the lab banding.

Need a surgeon in the Buffalo,Rochester, Erie,Pa are that performs the lab band surgery. I have Comm Blue Ins and the doctor in Buffalo is not Credentialed with them and I have already had all my tests done back in Feb/March. Really would like to get this moving again.    — angela O.

I don't live in NY but I wanted to make sure that your question didn't go unanswered. If you don't get a more specific answer here, you might want to try asking this question over at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Bandsters or http://www.lapbandtalk.com ObesityHelp has mostly RNY patients so I am not sure how many NY bandsters are here, but I'm quite sure that someone else who has the lap-band and lives in Buffalo will see your question over on the bandster mailing list. Good luck. :)

It's a little bit farther, but Dr. Bradley Needleman does it at Ohio State University in Columbus, OH. He's also the head of bariatric surgery there.
