Jenjen2016 32 Posted June 4, 2016 Did anyone pay for bariatric without insurance? What's the average costs? Thanks Jen Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cseidman 175 Posted June 5, 2016 I did. My out of pocket was just under $12,000. It varies depending on where you live. I'm in Colorado. My biggest worry was that I would have some sort of complication that would add even more to the cost. Almost a month out from surgery now and so far, so good!

Clementine Sky 708 Posted June 5, 2016 The surgeons I consulted with in Los Angeles were going to charge me between $29,000 to $35,000 since I didn't meet insurance eligibility requirements. Instead I drove down to Tijuana and had the VSG for $4200 with an excellent surgeon. No regrets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
