So, I was denied by insurance and went through the appeals process and was still denied. I'm now thinking about self pay. For those of you who have done this, what surgeon did you use and where were they located? what was the cost?

Thanks,

S.

I was denied as well. I was sleeved last month by Ponce De Leon, Tijuana. The cost was $5200: included 2 night at hospital and one night at hotel. You can book through Trish at WLS for Better Life. Great experience all around.
