Cost

What is the actual cost of the procedure if paying out of pocket? How long is the hospital stay?

I think out of pocket at Ochsner for lap RNY is $18,000. I was in the hospital for three days.

I think at Surgical Specialist it's $13,500. Go to WhyWeight.com, I think that is it, but if not look up Dr. Rachel Moore, or Dr. Lavin on here as Bariatric Surgeons and it will direct you to their site. There is more information about cost.

For Vertical Sleeve Gastro.... it was 11900.00 with Dr. Bellanger in Baton Rogue, LA. Stay was 1 day.
