My total for hospital, surgeon, anesthesia, pre-and post-ops, and misc., was about $15,000. I have heard it run up to $30,000 at BTC however. And surprise: $101,000 for a gal who had her surgery using the DaVinci apparatus (I'm not sure how that works).

There was a gentleman at a support group meeting I attended and that same question was asked. He paid $40,000.00. THis was at Morristown memorial Hosital in N.J.

I will be a self-pay if my ins. doesn't come through. Dr. Fallang is doing my surgery in Middletown, Ohio. The total fee quoted is $16,500.00. This includes all the pre-op testing. The group consult is free.

I traveled to Mt and paid $18 k = $3k for surgeon and $15k for the hospital. The price of a new car :-)

My LAP RNY was $18,640.00 self pay done in GA by one of the best LAP RNY Surgeons in the country(I wonder if some of the higher quotes are higher because of insurance paying)I didn't have to pay that much to get the best.....SHOP, SHOP, SHOP...

I was a patient at OHSU in Oregon. My surgeon was Dr. McConnell. I had an Open RNY, was in intensive care for 1 day, and on the regular ward for 3 more days. I had an epidural for post-op pain management. No other complications or problems. My total bills were just over 26 thousand dollars. I wrote off everything on my taxes, after taking out the 7% of my annual income.

My total estimate is $17,000. I'm from Houston area and using Dr. Spivek. I understand it may be more if there are complications. I'm having the surgery in a few weeks. My consultation is today. Since I do not have to wait for insurance approval, I will have the surgery as soon as pre-op testing is completed. (My estimate includes pre-op testing.)
