Is gastric bypass expensive?
Gastric bypass can be very expensive, however, if you, like me, are in a situation where you are almost out of options, and your insurance company sees this -- they see that you need a lot of help right now -- your surgery can be covered by insurance. My surgery was covered by my insurance company, and the out-of-pocket expense was extremely low. But, I find that nowadays, there are so many surgery farms out there that are willing to just take a cash payment, and that to me is not the best situation for the surgery. It took me six months of mental meetings with my program, before they even accepted me into the program. It's all about understanding people, understanding the surgery, and understanding truly how it's going to impact your life. I feel that my program actually took as much effort investigating me as I did them, because they were not going to invest into me if they didn't feel I was going to be a success story for them, because the surgery can be very dangerous, if you're not willing to understand it and live with it for the rest of your life.
