As you can see from the responses, it just depends on where you go. My surgeons self-pay cost is $17,500.00 (surgery, outpatient hospital, anesthesiology, psych and nutritionist...no free fills. )

I was self pay at $16,500. That includes fills for a year. but who can put a price on Health? I would have paid double that to get the results and health benifits I have had so far. Just keep checking Drs in your area.There are many that have payment plans. I was lucky enough to use half savings and the other half I put on a very low intrest "3.9%" credit card and paying it monthly.

My docs self pay plan is like $14-15,000. A lot of insurance plans cover it, have you checked yours?

There are financing options.... carecredit and capital 1 healthcare loan, as well as others but I'm not familiar with them.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
