Arizona Affordable Self-Pay Bariatric Surgery

Lisa had struggled with obesity for over a decade. After researching her options, she was ready for a sleeve gastrectomy that could help her reclaim her health and confidence.

Then came the insurance roadblocks:

  • A mandatory 6-month supervised diet program
  • Multiple specialist consultations and evaluations
  • Only 70% coverage after her $7,000 deductible
  • Potential denial even after completing all requirements

Rather than waiting half a year with no guarantee of approval, Lisa discovered Dr. Brown's self-pay option—providing the same high-quality procedure without the insurance headaches, at a comparable out-of-pocket cost.

Lisa chose the self-pay path and scheduled her surgery just 6 weeks later. Today, she's 85 pounds lighter and wishes she hadn't wasted years trying to navigate insurance requirements.
