Mine was 25,500 $ last summer. That included everything and I still think
it was a great investment.Christine

problems.

Hi Ericka!
I paid out of pocket for my lap RNY Jan 2006 and it was $22k and that was
for everything including anesthesia. But I would think it depends on your
doctor and what hospital he performs the surgery at.

I paid $25,000.00 total for hospital doctors and insurance for complication
with one of the best surgeons in the country and financed it with Capital
One for 18 months with 1.9% annual interest or about $400.00. The cost was
1350.00 per month for 18 Months but they will go much longer for a lower
payment at a higher interest rate. There are doctors that will do it for
as little as 10,000.00 I just wanted the best and was willing to pay for
it. Our car is getting older, but I will be alive to by a new one still in
a few years. Best of success to you.

I had the sleeve, but I did check pricing on several types of surgery
before I made my decision. The prices for RNY can run from probably around
$12,000 in Mexico to extremely high in the US as you can read from the
other posters. And everything in between. All you can do is research Drs
and hospitals and decide how far you are willing to travel for the savings.
Here in Texas, there was a major difference in pricing from the very large
hospital where I live to the other very large hospital I traveled to about
90 miles away. For example, there was about $6000 difference for the lap
band and $11,000 for RNY. Both are very good, large, reputable hospitals.
One major difference is that some hospitals have packaged up self pay
prices and some have not. They just charge their regular surgical prices.
OUCH!!

My doc told a lady they could talk about it, he can adjust his price &
ask the hospital for lower rates because you have to pay out of pocket. So
ask everyone that will be involved. His approx quote was 25-30 thousand.
