Did anyone have Dr. Coates as there DS surgeon? What was your experience with him? Are you happy with your results?
Just be careful. Make sure you ask for a traditional DS. http://bariatricfacts.org/threads/dr-patrick-coates.2934/Did anyone have Dr. Coates as there DS surgeon? What was your experience with him? Are you happy with your results?
No I haven't Melanie, but good to look into. If self pay is how you have to go please also consider a highly experienced surgeon in Mexico too. I paid $12,500 total in February. I would imagine the cost to come in at a minimum of $40,000 here in the states. For me I just wanted to get it done ASAP because I was tired of being fat and the years I'd spent fighting the losing battle.I am currently looking into Dr. Rabkin,as he is the one that performed my mom's DS. I noticed on his website that he offers financing options. I emailed them today inquiring about the total cost of the DS procedure. Has anyone else used the financing options he offers?
