Hello everybody!

I'm new in this forum, so I will be very happy to read your comments.

I am a 32 BMI with 22 years in the battle of weight loss. I know, some of you will say "but she's only a 32 BMI" well, I got into the stage of my life in which if I don't do something soon, after I've been in every single treatment (Medi-weightloss, jenny craig, nutrisystem, beachbody treatments, pills, shakes, etc) I will be in no time a 40 BMI.

I am 55 pounds overweight and I swear I touched rock bottom.

So, I'm considering doing the Sleeve gastrectomy. The thing is that insurance won't cover with this "low" BMI, so I have to be self-pay patient. Of course money is an issue, I will probably have to ask for a loan. But my first step is to find a reliable surgeon in the East Coast that will allow self-pay patients. I live in Rhode Island, and by far, is the worst bariatric system ever!! So I don't mind going somewhere else, but it has to be in the East Coast.

Thank you soo much!!!! And have a lovely evening!!

I chose Dr Wynn with the Chrias group out of Christiana Hospital in Delaware. They are a center of excellence. I have found them to be very thorough. Now I am using my bcbsde insurance but I'm sure they do self pay patients. It's worth a shot. My surgery will be in December sometime. So surgery wise I can't say but I do know that all the front desk and Dr Wynn herself are very courteous and skilled. Hope this helps.
