: I wish you the best. I don't think there are any DS surgeons

upstate, but it's always good to check. If you encounter problems with

your insurance, there are PLENTY of people who have 'been there, done that'

who can provide support and advice about going out of state or having the DS

covered when only the RNY is provided locally.

all the best,
