Guest guest Posted December 22, 2000 Report Share Posted December 22, 2000 -you are very lucky!! We have a bariatric surgeon right here in lil ole South Dakota that trained under Dr. Rutledge. I live in the same town he is in. I went to him first, because he is having a lot of success. He told me about Dr. Rutledge and gave me the website. The problem is-surgery here will cost $20,000 minimum. I couldn't believe it. I will be a self pay as my insurance has denied me(I even work for a hospital), so therefore, I will save $10,000 to travel to N.C. What a bummer to have to travel so far when the Dr and hospital are 4 miles from my home. At least it isn't 50 below zero in North Carolina!! Good luck -I envy you, in a good way...Kristi _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
