Procedures, pricing

If you choose to self-pay for bariatric surgery, costs of surgery will likely factor into your decision-making process. A final cost estimate will be given to you after you meet with your bariatric surgeon. For initial planning, please review these four estimates for bariatric procedures offered by our surgery center. Please keep in mind, these estimates and pricing are only for patients who pay for all surgical costs, rather than submitting them for insurance reimbursement.
