"I am a Self Pay so there is No Insurance will cover this."
What is your current insurance situation, exactly? You are in California, and my understanding is that the Covered California plans are regulated by the CA Dept. of Managed Health Care, which are very DS-friendly, so long as there isn't a contractual exclusion. If you are eligible for a Covered CA plan, you MIGHT want to consider switching to one of them - open enrollment for Covered CA goes until Feb 15th. However, you MUST look at the plans to see whether bariatric surgery is covered, which I'm not sure about, or - and this depends on whether you are having symptoms such as frequent vomiting - you may have a situation that requires surgery to correct complications, even though bariatric surgery is generally not covered.
