How much is RNY surgery

The cost varies a lot based on all kinds of things.  Some hospitals and surgeons charge more than others.  The cost would also vary depending on how long the surgery took, how many nights you stayed in the hospital, etc.

I had the RNY done. Took about 45 min was only in the hospital for 1 day and I believe BEFORE insurance is was $37,000 but, after insurance my out of pocket was only $1,000. So, it's going to depend heavily on insurance. Also if you look into it MOST weight-loss surgeons will set up fair payment plans with you.

I am just a few weeks out so haven't seen all of the statements yet.... But primary surgeon fee was $6000. Secondary surgeon was $3000. At my office they always work in pairs. Anesthesiologist was $3000. And the 2 night hospital stay came to $32,000.  

Insane. Thank goodness for great health insurance. Deductible had been met earlier in the year so no out of pocket for me.

Get insurance otherwise u can incur costs from complications. My surgeon did a sleeve on a patient, but she ate pizza to early and broke open the pouch causing a leak that required 4 months hosp stay!
