ZillyNa 16 Posted May 12, 2016 I'm lucky because in Italy this kind of surgery can be paid by the welfare state (if you are in certain health and economic conditions, evaluated every time ). I could'nt afford this cost, that is very expensive here too, when self paid. I'm happy to pay taxes to have a public health system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I was about to say the same thing! Who in the world is the surgeon in TJ charging $17k?!?!?! It is because i am high risk because my BMI is almost 60 so it costs me more as they have to have extra medical staff during the operation for me. The cost also includes flights, my companion's expenses and ongoing support. The $17k i didnt mention is in Canadian dollars too. With the current exchange it works out to about $13k US Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
