Weight loss (bariatric) surgery makes the stomach smaller, and a gastric bypass also reroutes the intestine. The sleeve gastrectomy is now the most common operation, followed by the gastric bypass; the adjustable gastric band is rarely placed anymore, but many old bands are being removed. Many people pay cash because some health plans exclude bariatric surgery.

Paying cash: what to do
- Ask for a bundled self-pay package that includes the surgeon, anesthesia, the hospital stay, pre-surgery tests and follow-up visits; hospital file prices usually cover only the facility.
- Ask what happens to the price if there is a complication or an extra night in the hospital.
- Compare programs accredited by MBSAQIP, which report their outcomes, rather than price alone.
