Hello!

My insurance won't be covering my surgery, so I'll be paying out of pocket.

That said, my options are totally open as to where I'll be having my surgery, as well as who will be my surgeon.

Any tips on how you chose your surgeon and/or hospital? What kind of questions did you ask? What kind of qualifications did you look for?

I'm looking to get my surgery done in Salt Lake City, so any recommendations on Doctors or hospitals in SLC are appreciated.

Thanks for reading!

Hi I am from West Jordan. I am self pay also. I am having my surgery on June 15 with DR Katherine Beck at Jordan Valley.

@Zadruga thanks so much for letting me know, I'll have to look her up! Why did you choose Jordan valley? I've been to free seminars at the U and St Mark's, but I'm leaning towards St Mark's because it's $3000 cheaper, and the surgeon who gave the presentation was more personable and gave better explanations as to the genetic and metabolic reasons behind obesity.

She was recommended to me by my endreconologist. I never looked at any other surgeons.
