So I am just started my gastric sleeve journey. I am 38 years old with three fantastic little boys. I have been to the information session and in the process of seeing a cardiologist, PC, and getting a EGD. I am going thru georgetown bariatric with Dr. Derek Weiss in georgetown, ky. I am self pay. Stupid insurance has a wls exclusion. The price of surgery is around 16,000. I have worried about paying this much but have come to term that it's a small price to pay for my health. I also worry about the surgery it's self and complication. I love this site but it can also scare the crap out of you! I know that I have todo this to get heathy for myself and family. My question is has anyone used georgetown bariatrics or Dr Weiss that can give me feedback. I am such a worry wart I think is the waiting that makes me crazy!

I am actually going through the Bowling Green ofc of Bluegrass Bariatrics. I have met Dr. Weiss,but Dr. Nwanguma is doing my surgery on Christmas Eve. I will let you know how everything goes and what my experience was like. Congrats to both of us on our brave, healthy choice!! Thinner times ahead :-)

Dr. Weiss is wonderful!! The BEST!!!

Wow I lived in Georgetown 13 years ago! I miss Kentucky I live in snowy Michigan now!

I used Dr. Weiss. I did have a leak but I don't believe it was anything that either he or I did wrong, just one of those things that happen.
