kim36517 3 Posted November 13, 2015 Hi everyone. Newbie here. I know I will be self-pay because my insurance excludes WLS. Because of the self-pay, I am only looking at BLIS covered surgeons. I have read many posts that Dr. Weiss is excellent. Can anyone give me feedback on the self-pay cost? How long it takes to get a surgery date? I am also wondering if I have a hiatal hernia would they charge that to insurance and give me a discount to only pay for the sleeve portion of the surgery? Any information anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated. I am 5'3" weigh 278. I have hypertension, pre-diabetic, fatty liver and knee pain. So I really just want to get healthy.
