This is an approximate cost. Expenses may vary for individual patients depending on medical conditions and patient needs. This cost does not include expenses incurred for complications or extended stay in the hospital.

  • A pre-operative psychological evaluation is required for all bariatric surgery patients. A fee for this is not included.
  • Individual patients may require other diagnostic testing or specialist consultations before and/or after surgery that would not be included in these totals. For example a sleep study, special procedures, or cardiologist consultation could be additional costs incurred before, during, or after the hospital stay.
