Weight Loss Surgery � The Benefits and Financial Cost
by: Beverley Brooke
Generally, weight loss surgery such as the gastric bypass will cost between $20,000 to $30,000 � the clinics do make substantial profits, which is why some you see advertised offer free chauffeurs and even airplane flights to the city and clinic. As in all lines of �business�, some surgeries will do all it takes to coax you there, within the law of course.

If you�ve opted for weight loss surgery, the cost of such a procedure can be quite daunting. Many people simply can�t afford the surgery without taking out huge loans which could end up crippling them financially. Is the surgery really worth the cost?

As with all major decisions in a person�s life, the benefits must be matched and compared with the cost, whether that�s emotionally, physically or financially. With weight loss surgery costing so much, it�s critical that the reasons you�re opting for the surgery are thought through extremely thorough, and in most cases discussed with your doctor.

If for example you�re suffering from a number of ailments and conditions because of morbid obesity, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, respiratory problems etc, and with the immediate health concerns morbid obesity brings � possible early death, up to 7 times the risk of death from a heart attack and all the added problems that come with it just trying to operate in society alone, you may feel the cost simply isn�t an issue, but you must work it into your current and future finances.
