Question:
suggestions for self pay surgeon near Philadelphia?

Hi everyone. My insurance won't pay for my RNY due to policy exclusions. I have tried everything suggested here and am now looking at self pay. Does anyone have a reasonable self pay surgeon/plan they can suggest within a couple hundred miles of Philadelhia? Thanks, Brenda G    — Brenda G. (posted on November 16, 2002)

If you have to self-pay anyway (my ins. would pay for RNY or VBG only), may I suggest you consider having the duodenal switch instead. Dr. Douglas Hess in Bowling Green OH invented DS and his prices are reasonable. And he's a sweetie! 419-352-1452

Hi there, I am a self pay and am going to central arkansas, to have my open rny done for a total price of $12,100. That includes everything. If you are interested, go to find a doc, click on Arkansas, and the click on Dr Luttrell, Dr gibbs, and Dr baker. They are all about the same price.
