You might want to specify which Dr. Rutledge you are referring to I had my surgery with Dr. Robert Rutledge in Henderson, NV 3 years ago and have had no problems. 7 of my family members have also had surgery with him and have done well. He has done over 5,000 surgery and his partner in Florida Dr. Peraglie has done over 1,500. Dr. Rutledge has never done surgeries in Washington. He has only done surgeries in North Carolina, California, and Nevada.

Topic: Need a new Doctor

Okay first I need to say that I haven't posted on here in ages and I feel a little guilty. I loved this place right after surgery, and am now remembering why. Just from reading the few posts that I have today, I feel inspired to stay on track.

With that being said, I am wondering if anyone knows of a good doctor in the Las Vegas area. I have recently relocated and am having a hard time finding a doctor. I had one referral, but turns out they didn't accept my insurance. (Aetna)

Another doctor wants a 500 dollar non-refundable service fee... ugh. I'm so frustrated. I love love loved my previous Doctor and am having a really hard time with this.

Thanks so much for any advice!

Topic: DS Post Ops in Vegas?

Hi all,

I'm looking for support groups or groups in general for Duodenal Switch and/or WLS-In-General. Do any exist in the Vegas area?

Thanks,

Topic: RE: sierra/hpn

I am on straight Medicaid and they won't cover fills until 90 days post op. If you have SmartChoice HPN they might give you a fight but I have been told by someone at HPN that they have to cover anything straight Medicaid covers.

Ok Thanks, My insurance requires me to spend the night so I'll have to find out from the Office about the overnight policies.

How are you doing/feeling. How did you surgery go. I'm waiting for all the approval to go through.
