Individuals seeking to lose weight in the United States may have the spirit and the desire to do so, but many don't have the money. Bariatric and obesity surgical costs in the U.S. are expensive, often ranging between $25,000 and $40,000. Individuals who are obese or morbidly obese often require gastric bypass procedures to reach their health and wellness goals, as they have been unable to lose weight through standard practices such as dieting and exercise.
