Who does not want to lose weight and attain a healthy height-weight ratio?
However, not everyone can achieve their fittest forms only by exercising and dieting. Life is much more complicated than that. Unfortunately, for many, it is a hard fact of life. But if there is a will, there is a way. In your case, the way leads you to the weight loss surgery.
If you suffer from severe obesity and would like to reverse your situation, plus save yourselves from obesity-related diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiac complications, weight loss surgery can provide a significant and sustainable solution for you.
The technical name for all weight loss surgeries is Bariatric Surgery, under which Bariatric surgeons change the anatomy of the digestive organs, including the stomach, to reduce the intake capacity.
There are various types of weight loss surgical treatments, like Gastric Bypass, Sleeve Gastrectomy, and Duodenal Switch. The surgeon is the best person to decide the operation type, depending on your BMI, obesity stage, and other bodily parameters. Of course, once you finalize and dig into more specific information, you will find more answers.
The purpose of this blog is not to educate you on bariatric surgery but to tell you how you can make it affordable and much more fun if you decide to go ahead.
Let’s look at the economics of this operation.
Weight Loss Surgery Cost in the United States
The costs of a Bariatric surgery in the United States vary between $7,500 to $30,000 before insurance. Complex surgery can get more expensive. Post-surgery care and ancillary hospital expenses add another few hundred dollars. If you would like to go for post-bariatric plastic surgery to deal with sagging skin and other cosmetic upliftments, you will have to cough up close to $40,000 for that work.
The question is not if you can afford all this or not, but if you can manage this work & your finances smartly and figure a way out that not only does the job at the same standard as you expect but also allows you a change of scenery and gives you once in a lifetime chance to visit an exotic getaway.
