I am 39 years old and very obese and have diabetes, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, and high triglycerides. My doctor at the VA Hospital wants them to give me gastric bypass surgery but they no longer do it at the VA Hospital. Is there any VA Hospitals that perform gastric bypass surgeries (regular one) or how much money do you need to have it done on your own? Please help me. Thank You.

Mine was a long time ago – and I had it done at Barix Clinic (they have several locations nationwide) – they work very hard to get insurance to cover it – usually successfully. But mine (with a little complication) was $50k. It may have come down though – since more people are doing it now. Mine was 12 years ago
Good luck!
