"Obesity surgery, also called bariatric surgery, is growing in popularity and more and more of these operations are being done using a laparoscope, note co-authors Dr. Wendy E. Weller, from the University at Albany in New York, and Dr. Carl Rosati, from Albany Medical Center...It is likely that these "average total charges" were only hospital charges and did not include follow-up medical visits for life, psychological counseling, nutritionist charges, complications and re-dos, etc.
On average, performing laparoscopic rather than open gastric bypass reduced the hospital stay by about 1 day.
The average total charges were similar for the two procedures, but median total charges were significantly higher with laparoscopic gastric bypass: $30,033 vs. $28,107 respectively."
It is far cheaper and easier to lose weight naturally and properly.
It is also smarter.
But smart is not the strong suit of a fat person.
Otherwise, why did they get so fat?
