I have the gastric sleeve 2/2014 which was covered by insurance so was my panniculectomy......I love my surgeon he's nice and honest. My out of pocket was abt 1400. Even though it haven't been a month and still healing I don't regret nothing. It changed my life. So far so good I don't have any complaints. Every one at office is great.
