Best Answer

Gastric Bypass surgery is very expensive in the USA and Canada. The average self pay price is over $35,000. Most insurance companies do not cover this surgery because it was once considered cosmetic. However we now know this is not a cosmetic procedure but insurance companies do not want to pay the big price tag. I have found an amazing deal in Mexico which is becoming more and more popular. The price was $10,000 and it included airfare, hotel, surgery in a world class hospital, and an aftercare program when you return home. So you should consider having it abroad if your insurance wont cover it at home.
