How Much Does Gastric Bypass Surgery Cost?

The package for gastric bypass in our practice, including laboratory preparation fees, medical fees, bariatric surgeon and anesthesiologist fees, 1-3 days hospitalization is 11000 dollars, without lodging recovery that needs 15 to 21 days  that are 50 to 100 dollars per day.

   Thanks for the question. When it comes to costs of surgery, there may be many “variables” involved. The specific surgeon's credentials/experience level (or lack thereof), the specific geographic area you are looking at, the different operations available, the location of the procedure (quality of surgery facility), type/quality of anesthesia provider, Insurance company involvement (if any)… are some of the potential variables involved. You will find some average costs of surgery on this website and on individual surgeons' websites as well.
I would also suggest that you do not base your selection of surgeon primarily on costs of surgery; keep in mind that revisionary surgery may be more costly in many ways.

I hope this, and the attached link, helps. Best wishes.

The costs are variable.  Here in NY the total cost is about $21,000 including surgeon fee, anesthesia, and hospital fee.  Most patients spend two nights in the hospital.
