Does anyone know of self pay options in US Without long pre surgery wait times? Costs?

Looking at staying in US Midwest preferred for self pay gastric sleeve. Does anyone know of any facility/doctor that does this?

If you are willing to travel to California, check out Dr. Oliak for VSG. Zero post op complications, one all inclusive fee. Follows up with his results, his weight Loss results are about 80% of your excess weight. Outstanding.

Blossom is a good deal with no wait time\hassle. For me it was significantly cheaper than any California option. Travel to Vegas is cheap and easy too. In general, they are a well oiled machine; very professional.

Right now, They are advertising a "fast track" service that will get you in within 5 days for under 7k.

Downside is that they are a bit of a factory.... Get you in; get you out. They had me on my feet and out the door of the surgery center within a half hour of waking up. I'm not joking. Compared this to most other stories on these boards who have a 2-4 day hospital stay afterward.

I think there is a doctor in Michigan, I have seen it on the non-phone app home screen. Last name escapes me though, first name I'm pretty sure is Mark. Can anybody help me? Maybe Pleatman or something similar.

If you're willing to travel, Midsouth Bariatrics in Memphis has a Fast Track program for self-pay patients. Dr. George Woodman is an exceptional surgeon with incredible outcomes and the facility is a Center of Excellence for Bariatric Surgery. He offers an all-inclusive cost for self-pay patients that encompasses surgery, follow-ups, etc. I believe the cost is about 15k.
