Unfortunately, around 5% of all health insurance plans do not pay for bariatric surgery. Additionally, there are many patients who would benefit from weight loss surgery, but don’t meet their insurance company’s criteria. We can help! We offer an affordable self-pay option. We are located in Tucson, Arizona and all of the procedures are performed at a COE certified hospital, not an ambulatory surgery center.
Our surgeons offer telemedicine for preoperative evaluations and postoperative follow-up care as well as in-person consultations. Our practice is committed to long term follow-up and will continue to see you in person or by telemedicine for as long as you’d like.
Dr. Matthew Weiner has practiced bariatric surgery for 15 years and is an active member of the ASMBS. He is the author of two books, “A Pound of Cure” and “How Weight Loss Surgery Really Works” and has a bariatric cookbook coming out in May, 2021. Dr. Weiner also has a popular weight loss surgery YouTube channel.
