I am interested in VSG in the US. Does anyone know a good US surgeon with a low self pay price? Any help would be appreciated.Thanks!

I'm in the Los Angeles area and using Dr Jeremy Korman with LA Bariatrics.

I went to Nashville, Tennessee at Centennial Hospital with Dr David Dyer. I can tell you the program is top-rated, but the price....well, they have self-pay options, but I didn't look into it. I was very lucky my insurance covered my care. Good luck!

Hi Katf;

Highly recommend The New Program, several people here have used group. 14K, which is not cheap for self pay but worth every penny. I spent more 18K - but two other people on this site used Dr. Braverman and he is less cost than my surgeon. You can contact "Veda" or "SkinnyNurseBetty" if you want their personal experience.

Surgeons at New Program in Newport Beach (they have an office in LA area too) are highly skilled and have the lowest complication rate in Southern California for Barriatrics besides being a Barriatric Center of Excellence member. The start of the process for me with self pay was just over 30 days including the two week preop diet.

While I spent an enourmous amount of my retirement on VSG surgery, I would do it again tomorrow. My life has changed because I am healthier, happier, move more and have discovered that doors I would never open I will now. VSG is not always easy and since it is non reversable, make sure this is what you want. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to talk. Good luck in your search!

I love my sleeve and have no regrets.
