E-GastricBypassSurgery.com Releases an Explanation of the Cost of Gastric Bypass Surgery

August 03, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Health News
E-GastricBypassSurgery.com explains the cost of gastric bypass surgery and other bariatric surgical procedures are high averaging between $20,000 and $35,000. Many insurance companies are beginning to see obesity as a serious health disorder, however, and have begun to cover some of the cost of gastric bypass surgery.

After surgery, there are other things to consider when factoring in the cost of gastric bypass surgery. A new lifestyle commitment will include a membership to the gym, a healthy choice diet, a wardrobe that may have to be replaced on a continual basis for a year, even transportation and furniture.

Beyond the material cost, there is also a physical and emotional cost. Gastric bypass surgery permanently changes your digestive system making it impossible to eat certain foods or combinations of foods. Emotionally, an adjustment will have to be made as you adapt to your new lifestyle and continually changing body. People important to you may also treat you differently after weight loss, which can cause stress and conflict.

E-GastricBypassSurgery.com also reminds us that any surgery is serious and a surgery to promote weight loss should only be undertaken when all other avenues have been explored.
