I don't know the exact cost - as my insurance covered 100% of my surgery; but in the $40,0000 - 60,000 range is normal.   If you will be paying for your surgery cash - then they usually give you a break on costs, so it's cheaper than what they would bill the insurance.

I've seen cash prices quoted as low as $26,000 but that was over a year ago in Springfield. Don't know now or in other areas.

"WLS is about making better choices, a healthier lifestyle and seeing how little you can eat.  Portion control is the key to all weight loss surgeries.  Bottom line - it isn't how much you can eat - it is how little you can eat."

Hi, I had mine done this year in Springfield. $25,000.00 plus a few extras here and there, like the all day seminar was 200.00, but then they refunded it several months down the road. Good luck, Tara

I'm 8 weeks out. Dr. Follwell performed mine at St. Alexis.  I paid almost 24,000 out of pocket.  7,000 to the Dr.  15,000 to the hospital, the remainder went to the anesthesia, lab, and radiology expenses.  I have been pleased with my surgeon and the hospital.  St. Alexia (the new hospital) was wonderful.  The care, personalism, and professionalism were great and just like what you'd expect of a small community hospital.  Hope this helps.  Michelle

On the monthly statements from United Healthcare, our insurance, the total price for everything including the pre-op day and testing was around $38,000.
