Will My Insurance Cover the Cost of Gastric Bypass Surgery?

A survey of bariatric surgery patients illustrated the fact that the average cost of the LAP-BAND Procedure was significantly less than the cost of Gastric Bypass Surgery. While both surgeries are often covered at least partially by insurance companies, there are various contributors to the individual costs of each procedure, including hospital fees, medical evaluations, pre-op laboratory fees, anesthesia and X-rays.
