Heart-Disease: Weight Loss Surgery The Benefits and Financial Cost

Generally, weight loss surgery such as the gastric bypass will cost
between $20,000 to $30,000 – the clinics do make substantial
profits, which is why some you see advertised offer free chauffeurs
and even airplane flights to the city and clinic. As in all lines of
‘business’, some surgeries will do all it takes to coax you there,
within the law of course.

If you’ve opted for weight loss surgery, the cost of such a
procedure can be quite daunting. Many people simply can’t afford the
surgery without taking out huge loans which could end up crippling
them financially. Is the surgery really worth the cost?

As with all major decisions in a person’s life, the benefits must be
matched and compared with the cost, whether that’s emotionally,
physically or financially. With weight loss surgery costing so much,
it’s critical that the reasons you’re opting for the surgery are
thought through extremely thorough, and in most cases discussed with
your doctor.
