Gastric Bypass Surgery - $20,000 to $70,000

Gastric Bypass is a major operation, and carries with it hazards of major surgery. It is believed that these risks are usually increased in obese or overweight patients. Gastric bypass surgery is not a miracle procedure or, as some people assume, an easy way out. It is by no means a guaranteed permanent result.

Weight Loss Clinics at Major Universities- $3,000 to $8,000 per month

Most weight loss health clinics work on the principal that you have no motivation and little desire to change your life. They conceal you for a month in a monitored environment, depriving you of satisfaction and freedom, feeding you only lettuce and rice. We believe that such environments are detrimental rather than beneficial to anyone interested in pursuing life changes and weight loss.

• Depriving
• Potential health risks with abrupt change in eating habits
• Test lab-like environment
• Short term results
• Expensive

Gastric Bypass - $17,000 to $22,000

This surgery usually involves a 4 to 6 day hospital stay (2 to 3 days for a laparoscopic approach). Most people can return to their normal activities within 3 to 5 weeks.

This same surgery is cheaper in Mexico but now you add travel expense into your already looming cost of the surgery as well as down time for recovery. This option is already compounded with trying to find a reputable surgeon!

In doing a little price comparison the procedure usually runs between $17,000 and $22,000 dollars.

No, gastric bypass isn't easy. And it's not "taking the easy way out" as some try to dismiss it. Losing weight takes a lot of hard work, whatever the method! Your lifestyle will need to change significantly after the procedure. You'll have to follow your doctor's instructions to the letter -- not only to make the procedure effective, but to also avoid side effects that can occur if you deviate from his orders. This includes following your prescripted diet plan. You will need to continue to be under a physician's care following the procedure. Your physician may also recommend other avenues of treatment: from visits with your regular doctor and bariatric surgeon to consultations with nutritionists and ongoing therapy with a social worker or psychologist. Often gastric bypass patients complete a course of physical therapy (depending on the patient's obesity level) or work with a trainer to begin a safe and effective exercise routine.

The celebrities you've read about -- and others who have had gastric bypass -- lose weight just like anybody else does: by eating less and moving more. They have to work at it just like those of us who haven't gone under the knife. They've just gotten a little help along the way.

Fat Farms

These packages (and there are plenty out there) state that they offer you a chance to really knuckle down and pour yourself into smaller sizes at the dress shop! They claim their staff works with you from morning till you retire in the evening each day to help you. They offer many different things including herbal wraps etc., but it costs indeed. For 10 nights these places run an average cost of $3380 and that is for a single room only. Each night is an additional $240.00 on average as well.

There are other places you can also venture to: Costa Rica resorts offer the same treatments (without airfair) for:

One week: $3595
Two weeks: $6795
Three weeks: $9995
