Okay so with my insurance I have to go to a specific facility because I work for that particular corporation, however, their program takes 8 - 12 months before surgery! Not to mention multiple trips to downtown Chicago which is a nightmare commute! On the other hand, there is a surgeon in the suburbs whom I have met with and I feel confident in his program but if I go to him it would be self pay, which they do finance, so it looks like I should be able to afford that. Both are centers of excellence in the bariatric field.
What does everyone think, go with the one where insurance will pay or the self pay option? Now that I have made my mind up to do this I am not sure waiting almost a year is something that will be good for me.....
How did you all choose your surgeon??
