  1. Hi, I'm actually in the process of getting my sleeve with Dr. Kim. I'm self pay though because my insurance has an exclusion policy for bariatric surgery. The insurance coordinator helped a lot and explained if my EGD comes back showing I have a hiatal hernia that it would bring the cost of surgery down to $4,900. Two separate payments of $2,000 and then $2,900. I would pay for one week of the Protein drinks and then pay $75 for the second. It was a program that some people were eligible for. The EGD itself would be $500. The hernia repair would be covered by insurance. The cost for the surgery center may not be covered by my insurance but I guess that's a chance I'm willing to take. I don't know if that helps. Idk why it says Im in Kentucky. Im actually in Irving, TX.
