Has anyone used Dr barker for the vsg surgery. If so how was it any problems or any regrets. How much was your out of pocket fee.

I used him...sleeved 09/21/2016. I really like Dr. Baker because he is tough, he tells you the truth. If you get your feelings hurt easily or you are not ready to fully commit, he may not be the guy for you. I wanted someone who would hold me accountable and not coddle me. He did a great job with the surgery, I went home the next day. The team is great as well. I wish you lots of luck!!!! Oh, I didn't pay anything for my surgery because my son had already met my total out of pocket for the year. (Blue Cross Blue Shield), surgery cost 34,000...my insurance had a $7000 out of pocket maximum so that's the most that I would have paid. Good luck!
