Medicare covers some bariatric surgical procedures, like gastric bypass surgery and laparoscopic banding surgery, when you meet certain conditions related to morbid obesity. Note. Your doctor or other health care provider may recommend you get services more often than Medicare covers.
Factors Contributing to Surgery Cost. Bariatric surgery costs money, but exactly how much will be determined on a case-by-case basis and usually depends on a number of factors. What type of surgery youâve chosen to undergo will be the dominating factor. A sleeve gastrectomy or gastric binding might have a direct cost of around $15,000, while a more invasive procedure, such as Roux-en-Y (gastric bypass) will often cost something more like $21,000.
